The BIG 'introduce yourself' thread

hello, i want to live as long as gandalf and truly believe the only way to do that is by increasing human bandwidth to scale R&D. take down the silos + collaborate for public benefit.

the only reasonable way to do this without confidentiality agreements is thru crypto-economic incentives --> web 3.0 (ethereum et. al. + IPFS).

we will trade fungible intellectual property rights on a blockchain, and this will unlock exponential life expectancy. security + metadata = global trade of any information value. when dfinity.

Hi everyone!

My name is Vlad, I’m working on Unframework project (http://unfw.info/) from the beginning of 2018. The project aims to help solve standardization and interoperability.

It is an abstraction layer over standards and features that enables:

One of my passions is to enable an environment where anyone can create his own standard/language/service while being still understood by all other parts of the system. You can read a description of a particular use case here https://github.com/unfwk/jekyll

Hi everyone,

Wanted to introduce myself ahead of ETHDenver (very excited). I have more of a finance background - worked on the trade desk at BATS (acquired by CBOE) then most recently worked at ShapeShift as a financial analyst then later as the head of reporting & analytics. I’m a self described open finance shill.

Stumbled head first into the crypto UX world by necessity. I’m very interested in helping build a more usable, open financial system - specifically, by conveying the benefits of use, simplified onboarding, education / content, more intuitive dApp experiences, and better analytics. I left ShapeShift recently and am in the very early days of starting Ahnboard.io. to fuel this mission.

Also, I’m based in Denver! See everyone at ETHDenver. Follow me on Twitter and say :wave: : https://twitter.com/_ahoff

Cheers,
Alex

Hello,

I’ve been lurking here since November and it’s time to introduce myself.

In my corporate life I was a Technical Product Manager, designing and building APIs and data stores. I’ve recently left 9-5 behind to work on Ethereum projects full time.

I’m drawn to Ethereum because of its potential to put the tools of production AND stores of value into the hands of every day people. I imagine a world in which people spend the majority of their lives entertaining each other (and make their living at it).

Outside of Ethereum, I like backpacking and playing MtG. I lived in Istanbul for a few years, where I spent all my free time studying the symbolism in the city’s incredible art and architecture.

Oi!

I am based in Austin, Texas. My interests in software engineering, politics, and cryptography led me to Ethereum. And I used to work in fintech in SF.

Recently I’ve been working on headlong, a high-performance Java library for ABI and RLP (feedback welcome). I also have a background in Android.

I’m interested in making the Ethereum ecosystem faster and more JVM-friendly.

Hey! My name is Punia and I got involved in the blockchain space in around 2016 through Blockchain at Berkeley. Since then I’ve done consulting for a few startups and most recently was leading blockchain investments at Draper Associates.

I quit my job to start my own company that didn’t work. I’m thinking deeper about the intersection of governance and social, the positive sum games it can create, and the financial primitives needed to do so.

Hi guys!
I’m Lenny or The JhonnyJason - probably the best describtion is the cog that fits no machine^^…

I’m very philosophically interested since ever and since 18 years of age somewhat on the path to technological mastery. First weirdly arrogantly through the pathway of the Technological University in Graz - then after I finally flunked out and had some good adventure with attempt on gf + family.

I finally found the path to deal with my inner insecurities and the issue about feeling simultaneously superior to everybody else and inferior to everybody else. Which finally allows me to really evolve as a developer and not just expect of myself to know everything in beforehand xD - then judging myself and everybody to not have known better.

On this path I also have a strong opinion of what to work for makes sense and what not. One reason why I constantly run on a negative Budget^^ - though minimalism FTW, frees up your time.

Now I like the perspective very much that this imperfect world is the best opportunity to live out that sense. There is so much to be done and every little bit helps. Especially all that what we may do with such a plattform like Ethereum the whole Ecosystem evolving right now in the space… it is the perfect time for an upgrade of our financial systems and democrazy.

So now I’m here from an halfway sophisticated fullstack-webdev background and just starting to develop on some Smart Contracts.

There you are, I’ve got you, be very much appreciated :slight_smile:
Cheers!

Hey all,

I’m Hvdson, a software developer and artist - I found out about blockchain back in 2017 and now I’m finally fully committed to the long-term vision of a decentralized internet. Starting to dip my toes into developing smart contracts. Excited to see what the future has in store for us :slight_smile:
