Crypto Developer | Blockchain, Web3, Solidity
I've been focusing on Internet Technology since 1998. First from starting an ISP and finding ways to serve clients with wired, wireless and satellite technologies. As connections were becoming ubiquitous I moved to online services. I have worked with clients ranging from SMB to fortune 500 to approach how the Internet can enhance and improve business processes. After first using Bitcoin in 2011, I have completed a variety of projects with crypto. Some of these include new crypto development, coin swaps moving millions of USD in assets, crypto auctions, crypto backed gaming and Fintech. Blockchain and related tech will change the world like mass adoption of the Internet has. Lately I have been focusing on Web3, smart contracts (Solidity, ERC-20, ERC-721), community creation and engagement. Specialties: Planning, Crypto, Web3, keeping everything up and running.

Developer
Entrepreneur 2010 - 2019
Full stack web development with Crypto becoming a primary focus. Started working on Bitcoin projects in mid 2011. My initial start with crypto was in mining, configuring various operating systems, and network command and control of 50+ miners (LAMP, BASH scripting, Perl). I soon moved to working on new coin development (C++), moving existing wallets to new blockchain forks (C++), and crypto services such as gamified faucets and other services. (LAMP, Blockchain). With the introduction of Ethereum and then other platforms that allowed smart contracts, I moved to developing on those. Happy to talk about the amusing story of heating homes and offices through a Michigan Winter with excess heat from miners in 2012.
