Bernat Canal developed and upgraded NFT and governance smart contract systems for the NethermindEth/surge-taiko-mono repository over four months. He engineered the Trailblazers Season 2 NFT recruitment and migration system, designing Solidity contracts and upgrade scripts to enable seamless onboarding, migration, and on-chain engagement. Bernat also improved governance security by deploying TokenLocker and TaikoTreasuryVault contracts with robust ownership initialization and deployment automation using Shell and JavaScript. Additionally, he synchronized the Taikoon UI with mainnet NFT whitelist data, integrating React and Next.js to ensure accurate on-chain state representation. His work demonstrated depth in smart contract architecture, deployment reliability, and frontend-backend integration.
