When I discovered Ethereum in 2017, I immediately recognized the potential of public blockchains. The ability to create Smart Contract code that will be executed and validated in a decentralized network provides almost limitless possibilities. In 2018 I decided to become a professional in the field of blockchain, worked for several consultancy companies and decided to work as independent contractor in 2021. As long term contributor to the æternity blockchain, co-author of the AEX-141 NFT standard & product lead at Soon.Market, I have gathered a lot of hands-on experience in building blockchain projects over the past couple of years.
