I have a passion for learning and teaching.
I realized at a young age that all “knowledge” was constructed by people no smarter than you or me. Taking it at face value never satisfied me. Instead, I always sought out to learn it from first principles. This in turn made me a really effective learner, writer, and teacher (all of which I believe are greatly intertwined).
That is how I was able to teach myself pretty much everything I know. Whether it’s math, physics, coding, crypto, or dance ;)
But one problem I see in the world is the dearth of great teachers. Most teachers teach from the perspective of someone who already has mastered that knowledge. There are very few people out there who can explain things with a beginner’s mindset.
That is why you will find that much of my writing (and now videos!) consist of me explaining things from the perspective of a beginner. I have mastered the art of learning and find joy in teaching what I learn in the best way possible. My goal is to empower you the knowledge and skills to be your greatest self.

Distributed systems can be difficult to understand, mainly because the knowledge surrounding them is distributed. But don’t worry, I’m well aware of the irony. While teaching myself distributed computing, I fell flat on my face many times. Now, after many trials and tribulations...
Now that I’ve finished raising the first funding round for my company TruStory, I’m looking back and thinking about all the things I wish I’d known going in… things I had to learn the hard way — and there’s a lot. In this post, I’m going to share some of the most valuable things I’ve learned along the way.
Many of us are guilty of describing blockchains as “trustless” systems. However, I’ve come to realize that the term “trustless” is ambiguous, confusing, and most importantly, inaccurate. Blockchains don’t actually eliminate trust. What they do is minimize the amount of trust required from any single actor in the system.
There’s no question that blockchain technology has enormous potential.Decentralized exchanges, prediction markets, and asset management platforms are just a few of the exciting applications being explored by blockchain developers. Exciting enough, in fact, to raise over billions in ICOs...
