He has always been an enthusiast of video games and hopes blockchain technology will enable the creation of the ultimate global online arcade, in the classical style where users pay perhaps 25 cents to play a game of their choice once, forever replacing the "freemium" garbage that has become ubiquitious with a direct, independent distribution and payment system that is clear, simple, and fair.

In 2014 I was working at an American law firm in London, which was retained to represent the Japanese trustee in the Mt. Gox insolvency proceedings. I had heard a little bit about Bitcoin before then, but the insolvency proceedings really spurred my interest in the field. I continued to work in international dispute resolution and financial regulation for the next few years, and eventually realized that I wanted to do further research in blockchain law. I ended up attending a blockchain law conference here in Berlin, which is where I met the COO of Gnosis, joined Gnosis, and grew into the role of General Counsel, CLO of Gnosis.
