Hi, I'm Harry Altman! I was the maintainer of Truffle Debugger (https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/tree/develop/package...), a Solidity smart contract debugger, for 5 years. I eventually ended up writing my own decoding and encoding libraries to support it, as well as a bunch of other things.

I'm good at this sort of nitpicky work, spotting and thinking about edge cases. I like getting things exactly right, even though that obviously isn't always possible due to various constraints. I've been kind of wondering if I should get into embedded development; I find it appealing when things are low-level or similarly constrained. I've beaten Microcorruption. :) (The original levels, I haven't played the new ones.)

I'm also quite interested in unusual or obscure data formats, and working on Truffle Debugger and its associated libraries certainly involved a bunch of having to figure undocumented formats and interfaces. :) I put down above what languages I've worked substantially in but I'd say I'm a generalist and will figure out whatever you give me (I knew approximately no Javascript, Typescript, or Solidity when I started working at Consensys).

I'm a mathematician by background and in my spare time, so after the Truffle Debugger project was shut down I took some time off to focus on my mathematical projects. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!

  Portfolio: https://prasanthmj.github.io/

15+ years of product development experience, primarily focused on backend engineering and platform development.

I've worked on significant projects including: - Building a next-generation Platform as a Service (PaaS) product using Go, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms - Developing a capital structure management product for FinTech with microservices architecture - Creating real-time monitoring systems for telecom infrastructure

Core expertise in: - Building and scaling microservices architectures using Go - Kubernetes (CKA and CKAD certified) and cloud infrastructure - System design and architecture - DevOps and CI/CD pipeline development

I'm particularly interested in backend/platform engineering roles where I can leverage my experience in Go, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. While I'm comfortable with DevOps, I prefer focusing on core platform/product development.

Open to challenging opportunities that align with my expertise in building scalable backend systems and platform development. I bring strong experience in both startup and enterprise environments, with a focus on delivering quality, maintainable solutions.

Looking for full-time remote positions with teams that value technical excellence and sustainable development practices.
