I actually started in traditional finance. I used to build algo trading systems like Goldman Sachs.
Mo Jalil
So I've been there sort of Ethereum and Cryptospace for around a decade or so. I focused a lot on privacy very early on.
Oskar Thorne
And then I guess the last five, six years, I've been sort of diving deeper into Synology Proofs and sort of doing various tooling for it.
Oskar Thorne
