Hi there 👋
I'm a Parth, Smart contract Intern working at [Nethermind](https://nethermind.io/).

# Work experience:

#### Nethermind - Smart Contract Intern (June 2022 - Present)

* Working with Synnax/Gauss team which aims to improve the security of smart contracts.
* Responsible for doing the audits of various Solidity smart contracts along with team of other interns and auditors. Finding low severity bugs and also helping in gas optimization
and share my findings there
* Skills: Solidity, Smart Contracts, Auditing

#### TrakInvest - Full Stack Blockchain Developer (Jan 2022 - June 2022)

* Writing smart contracts on Ethereum blockchain using solidity and understanding ERC20 standards
* Hands-on experience using hardhat, metamask, remix, web3.js / ether.js

#### Amazon - Software Development Engineer (Jan 2020 - Dec 2021)
* Built the Automated Defect Identifier services on top of mapping, pricing and crawling data for the Competitive Monitoring Team (CMT). This helped in increasing the percentage of root cause analysis(RCA) of products from 26% to 95% for the North American region.
* Enabled Defect Identifier services for all the marketplaces of Europe and the Far-east region. This involved the process of ingesting 12 TB of one-time data and automating daily ingestion of 3 TB of data to respective pipelines. This helped in increasing the percentage of RCA from 23% to 87% in those regions compared to what was done manually.

# Projects I have built:

## Securing Aave protocol
* Written rules for this [file](https://github.com/MichaelMorami/aave-protocol-v2-AStETH/tree/feature/steth-on-prev-version) using certora verification language(CVL). These rules were part of [Formal verification of AAVE](https://governance.aave.com/t/continuous-formal-verification).
* I have mainly worked on `feature/steth-on-prev-version` branch and written some rules.
* My pull requests can be viewed [here](https://github.com/MichaelMorami/aave-protocol-v2-AStETH/pull/4).
* Language: Solidity, Certora Verification language

## Uniswap v1 clone
* Created clone of Uniswap v1 in Solidity.
