Mitja Guštin is a Principal Engineer based in Ljubljana with 12 years of hands-on experience building and securing blockchain and Web3 systems, currently focused on bridging, staking, custodial wallets and payment gateways across EVM and UTXO chains. He pairs deep Solidity security auditing and integration/stress testing expertise with practical devops for smart contracts—forked, testnet and mainnet flows—using tools like web3.js, ethers and Hardhat. Beyond blockchain, Mitja has led complex Industrial and IoT projects: designing EV charging smart-grid platforms, low-level robot controller drivers, OPC UA/MQTT gateways and Industry 4.0 backends. His background in multithreaded C/C++, .NET/Core migrations, Docker/Kubernetes patterns and database design (Couchbase, Postgres, Oracle RAC) gives him a rare full-stack systems perspective. He brings a knack for migrating legacy Windows stacks to modern open-source architectures and for building resilient, event-driven indexing and integration layers around distributed ledgers. Mitja’s mix of security-first blockchain development and industrial control systems experience makes him especially adept at designing auditable, production-ready systems where hardware and cryptography meet.
