Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Gotchac is a Berlin-based software developer with 11 years of experience building both front-end and deep back-end systems, particularly in blockchain and Ethereum tooling. He contributes to high-profile open-source projects like Foundry, Hardhat and Parity, with hands-on work on EVM internals, RPCs and transaction execution that reflect strong low-level systems expertise. Comfortable across stacks, he has improved UI/UX for projects such as Parity’s front-end and Material-UI components while also fixing core protocol bugs in Rust and Go clients. Educated at Telecom ParisTech, Eurecom and Imperial College London (MSc AI), he blends formal CS training with practical engineering. Notably, his contributions often tackle subtle correctness issues—RLP encoding, gas accounting and pending-block semantics—showing attention to both performance and protocol fidelity.
