A letter to the TalentLayer open-source community about our next steps to scale the protocol.
I spend most of my time leading the team behind TalentLayer: an API layer connecting the world's marketplaces.
I write shitty code, but I build great teams. I've been building software startups since I was 16. I've tried a lot, failed a lot, and learned a lot.
I ran an IEEE working group on Blockchain Governance for 2 years. You can listen to my lectures on blockchain governance and ecosystem design, hosted by INATBA (European Commission blockchain association), The IEEE, Fedex Institute of Technology, Hyperledger Foundation and others.
My most fundamental belief is that humans are autonomous; that is, they are able to take action to impact their environment and circumstances. Anything can be done by anyone with enough willpower and grit. We make our own reality.
Ask me about Cryptoanarchy.
Currently not based anywhere, but you can find me at the next blockchain hackathon.
My biggest goal right now is making TalentLayer grow.
a white-label NFT marketplace solution for influencers, sports collectables, clothing companies, and more. grew it from 5 to 12 people, generated revenue, raised pre-seed round.
š¢ June 2021 - July 2022
I've been to 13 hackathons the past year and a half. Most of the time, I'm there building proofs of concept on TalentLayer. I've won prizes at the past 6 that I've hacked at.
I write occasionally about tech, startups, and the future of work.

Everyone has a reason for building. For some people, itās to solve a problem theyāve experienced. For others, itās to earn a sustainable income or āmake it bigā. Some build just because they love building. I build tools for sovereignty.
