I am a Senior Solution Architect with a successful Identity Management solution within the IT Security space. I've been a part of the Cardano community since 2017 and have been extremely proud of the progress the various bodies within the Cardano ecosystem have made since that point. While I have a comfortable job that I am very grateful for, one that provides challenges and rewards success, my passion is entirely related to the potential of blockchain technology, specifically within the Cardano ecosystem, as I believe it provides the technical acumen and solid bedrock necessary for global (Enterprise, Gov, etc) adoption.
I have kept constant watch on employment opportunities since entering this space in 2016. At that time, resources in demand were specific to software engineering and the like. Having organized several small group discussions related to Blockchain, as well as ones specific to Cardano, I'm excited to see this opportunity, as it directly links my professional experience with my personal passion. I appreciate your time, your consideration, and hope to speak with you soon.
