I'm a software engineer and data scientist who is very interested in blockchain / web3, robotics, finance, economics, manufacturing, and kiteboarding.

Recently, I've been dedicating time to learn about the architectures of various blockchains. Currently, my favorite projects in this space are Chainlink and Kadena. Chainlink is particularly fascinating due to its aim of creating an "internet of contracts" accessible worldwide. While Chainlink is not a blockchain itself, it is a system which can be integrated with any blockchain, facilitating easy interoperability. Initially, this will significantly benefit regions lacking robust financial infrastructure. However, it has the potential to aid everyone, thanks to the concept of easily executable, trustless transactions. Kadena offers different advantages, primarily as a decentralized proof-of-work chain. It boasts high security, low transaction costs, and an easily accessible smart contract language named Pact.
