• Working closely with developers to debug and optimize their projects, providing hands-on support where needed
• Developing proofs of concept (PoCs), sample dApps, and smart contracts to showcase Hedera’s capabilities, focusing on EVM-compatible tools and Hedera services, especially concerning climate finance and the Guardian ecosystem
• Serving as a Hedera expert, guiding developers in building decentralized applications, tokens, and smart contracts using Solidity and Hedera services
• Staying updated on the latest blockchain and smart contract development trends and sharing this knowledge internally and externally
• Collaborating with product and engineering teams to contribute to Hedera Improvement Proposals (HIPs) to enhance the developer experience, especially for smart contract development
• Participating in and recording educational content (e.g., podcasts, video tutorials) to showcase smart contract use cases and best practices for Web3 development
• Actively engaging with the developer community across multiple channels (online forums, conferences, hackathons) to support and inspire smart contract developers
