Yaroslav Kozhevnikov

Developer

Yaroslav Kozhevnikov has been a professional software developer for over 6 years. His past development projects have included the following.


• Verifying subset of ASN1.C compiler, specifically the encoding/decoding of primitive types
• The backend for the exchange (fiat to crypto) based on the Lightning Network
• An e-learning project, rewriting parsers for the existing storage format and worked on the backend for the platform
• The backend for the smart-contract startup for businesses (the idea was to have templated contracts for businesses, that they can use to hire workers/contractors and do other business related items), as well as on the smart contract language (embedded in Haskell) itself. The service was based on the Solana blockchain.
• Working as a contractor to help refactor, clean and modernize a database for a company under NDA. This contract included helping profile and optimize contracts for the Cardano.


Yaroslav is currently working with François-René on the Sky backend, such as nodes, data structures for the data availability and handling infrastructure setup, among other features.
