Julian Rutherford

I've been passionate about computers and technology ever since I first discovered my father's Tandy TRS-80. My journey began with solo hobby projects, where I gradually developed my skills in various technologies like PHP, Go, JavaScript, Solidity, and Cadence. Over the years, I worked on numerous websites and bespoke applications, constantly exploring and expanding my technical knowledge.

My enthusiasm for development was reignited with the advent of blockchain and cryptocurrency. The potential of decentralized technologies inspired me to dive deeper into smart contracts and blockchain development. This led me to discover and become proficient in several key areas, including Cadence, the smart contract language for Flow.

For the past two years, I've been working as a full-stack and blockchain developer at Be, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, a leader in the blockchain industry. In this role, I've had the chance to contribute to innovative projects in Web3 and decentralized applications. My work involves developing and deploying smart contracts, integrating cross-chain solutions, and creating user-friendly experiences in the Web3 space.

My expertise includes:

• Cadence 1.0: Proficiency in Flow's primary smart contract language, enabling robust and secure contract development.
• EVM Integration: Experience with Ethereum's Virtual Machine, facilitating cross-chain functionality and leveraging the strengths of both Flow and Ethereum ecosystems.
• Smart Contract Development: Writing, deploying, and managing smart contracts across various platforms.
• Blockchain Architecture: Understanding of blockchain systems, focusing on scalability, efficiency, and innovative solutions unique to Flow.
• Web3 Development: Building decentralized applications (dApps) with a user-centric approach, using tools like the Flow Client Library (FCL).
• Tokenomics and NFT Development: Creating and managing fungible and non-fungible tokens, contributing to the thriving creator economy on Flow.
  ‍

I am excited to bring my technical skills and passion for innovation to new projects within the Flow ecosystem. Whether it's developing advanced smart contracts, facilitating migrations, or building next-gen dApps, I'm eager to collaborate with other professionals and contribute to the growth of this dynamic field.
