The BIG 'introduce yourself' thread

Hello,
I’m not currently not working in the crypto space, but would very much like to change that. I’m here to try and get upto speed on how to build the emerging web3 tech.

Any guidance or advise is welcomed.

Hello here, I’m Simon Fremaux, also known online as dievardump.

I’m a web developer since a bit more than 10 years. I have been in the crypto space since a few years, and really building on it since last year, when I created a platform call BeyondNFT allowing developers to mint Interactive NFT (html+css+js) directly in their browser and the Open Source format on which those interactive NFTs are based

Happy to have found this forum and eager to participate in the growth of the space if I can, focusing primarily on NFTs and everything that is around

Hey All,
I work for a company of bureaucrats that don’t want me to work from home anymore. Out of 600 employees, 28 make up our engineering department and collaborate on our suite of web2 products. I am on a team of 5 frontend devs.

Even though I’m clearly salty, it’s ok. I’ve decided that transitioning to web3 development is non-negotiable step I must take in my career, and I’m excited to have a good reason to accelerate that transition.

This forums the newest stop in my trip down the web3 rabbithole. Very glad to be here with you all! Any advice from you brilliant people would be greatly appreciated :heart::heart:

Hey Y’all :wave:

I’m Daksh, I’m a 19 y/o self taught programmer who has built a bunch of SaaS products over the years. Most notably one in Insolvency Space (which is about recovering loans from bankrupt companies)

After building software for banks/auditors, I realised how easy it is to game the system and the fact that it’s just secure on paper and the people managing those banks have huge attack vectors, because of them many people have lost their entire life savings.

That is why I decided to work on financial products but on Ethereum (a system where code is law) and build good UX products so that it is inclusive to everyone; So far I’ve contributed to Many DeFi protocols and have been building my own DeFi playground lately. I’m super excited about ETH Scaling too, especially L2.

Hi,

I’m Alex Cohen. I’m a programmer and investor. I’m interested in working as a developer for blockchain and DeFi projects. Some of the projects that I find interesting right now are ethereum (of course), UMA, Uniswap, Chainlink, and Aave

Hi, I’m Mackenzie, I like writing CSS. Currently unemployed, based near Vancouver BC.
Excited about the abilities Ethereum has developed around collective ownership and distributed decision making, the future feels brighter with each new Ethereum concept I learn.

Robin Aletras here. I would like to get help authoring a new ERC standard. Any suggestions on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Greetings,

Hi… This is Saurabh here

I am a blockchain dev and a big fan of the technology.
Have been following this space from last 5 years.
I am looking to built platforms which will have an impact on the community using blockchain tech.

Currently working on IdeaTribe, a platform for users to publish their ideas (stories, poem, art, scientific paper, business ideas) to get a proof of ownership (based on timestamp and hash). The main aim is to help ideators realise their ideas through collaboration. The community can collaborate using staking on idea, on chain service contracts to help the ideator.

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone!

I’m Chiara. I first stumbled upon the Ethereum community this past Spring. I find the Web3 space both technically and ideologically fascinating. At the moment, I’m focused on smart contract development, and better understanding the Ethereum ecosystem. I’m also interested in exploring 3D web development, and how this type of media may be stored and displayed on blockchain-based infrastructure.

LinkedIn and GitHub are currently my professional networks of choice. Feel free to get in touch there @chiarawilden. (Please leave me a short note on LinkedIn if you’d like to connect so that we can properly introduce ourselves :blush:).

Looking forward to getting to know my fellow magicians, and contributing to the community :woman_mage:t4:

Hi Everyone,

I’m DT. During the workday, I’m at Google advising big APAC game and app companies on international growth. Every other moment for the past year has been devoted to soaking up how the ETH and open source communities work, and I’m enthralled.

Like @jpitts, I want to cultivate self-organizing social systems that work together (for good, and beyond just making money). My first attempt contributing is a standard for non-tradable fungible tokens.

Find me on Twitter @dtedesco1.

Hi everyone!

I’m Mourad Kejji, passionate developer from Morocco. I learned about Bitcoin in 2011 (at the time, I was convinced that the person behind it was using everyone’s computers to rent them to render farms :laughing:), then started really getting into it in 2013 but it was already too late to try to mine with the hardware I could afford.

I learned about Ethereum in 2016 and immediately started experimenting with smart contracts. Once again, I let my skepticism get the best of me. After heavily trying to convince people around me that this was the future, I ended up conceding to the argument “it’s a great tech but there’s no real use-case”.

In 2018, it was my greed that got me back to it, prices had just surged so I put all I could of my savings in crypto and started doing web3 hackathons. Got a few prizes at some of them, and since then, I just never stopped.

I discovered this forum while googling “how to propose an EIP”. I’ve been working on a Visual Novel game engine for a little while and I’d like to come up with a standard way to store players’ progress and choices on a smart contract that would represent the story. But more on that on the dedicated thread once I muster enough courage to open it. Until then, I have a lot of lurking to do :sweat_smile:
