Michail Malostanidis — a CV of sorts

Summary

I’m a fullstack developer with over 10 years of hands-on experience, dedicated to staying current with the latest technologies and best practices.

I look for dynamic, collaborative environments where there are real problems to solve and impact to be made on the bottom line.

I have contributed in a wide range of ways, from embedded and cli tools to clientside web and beyond.

While my experience actually developing cryptocurrencies and AI models is limited, I have a keen understanding of the principles of operation and the latest developments in these fields, which allows me to harness them effectively, while also being aware of their exact current and fundamental limiations.
