My current focus is on token engineering, solidity and DApp development but I am also passionate about design. I have experience in all aspects of the software development life cycle including quality assurance, product development, software development, design and software development methodologies such as SCRUM, Lean Agile and Kanban. I started my first paid job as a programmer(designing and developing a game in C++) while I was in high school.
