In March 2019, I wrote the FIC BOB Protocol with help of all co-workers, that required a creative mix of business, architecture, block-chain, and financial knowledge.

Especially during those times my team found it supportive having me around calm, present and doing the right thing for company.

• Product Development Team Lead

  • Dec 2017 - Dec 2018

  In October 2018, we issued worlds first USD corporate bond that’s native to blockchain. As the team grew I naturally stepped up to a Lead, as well as pro-actively filling any void roles that had to be done but were outside of my job description, e.g. accounting, managing external partners, ICO customer support. All while doing Full-Stack work.
