Exploring the Essential Features of “EatTheBlocks – Profitable Flashloans“
Instructor: Julien Klepatch
About Me: I am a senior Blockchain software engineer with a background in Finance. I transitioned to software development six years ago. Over the past three years, I’ve been actively involved in building Dapps and Solidity smart contracts for various Ethereum and ICO projects, including Lendingblock, an institutional crypto lending exchange. I also manage the EatTheBlocks YouTube channel for Ethereum developers and have published a Blockchain course for Manning. Additionally, I’ve contributed to the code of Drizzle and spoken at TruffleCon 2019 on Drizzle. My experience extends to Node.js, Javascript, and React, where I’ve worked as a full-stack software engineer for the last six years.
