I've been recruiting top-notch technical talent for five years at the biggest and baddest recruiting firm in the land, Riviera Partners. While there, I had the pleasure of working with some seriously cool Web3 clients, including Chainlink (CPO search) and Stardust (VPE/VPP Search).
Before all that, in 2016 on an off-roading trip through Baja, I first learned about Bitcoin and suddenly found myself tumbling down the rabbit hole. Web3 offered a solution to a problem that had been bugging me for years: the internet is totally broken. We've built a panopticon that feeds on our attention and sells our data. We've given up our privacy for convenience, but I think that's a bogus tradeoff.
I'm all about building systems that put data control, ownership, and monetization back in the hands of users. And that's why I'm so excited about Web3 - I believe it has the potential to bring about real change.
A germ walks into a bar, walks up to the bartender and orders a drink. Bartender says, it's on the house. A guy at the bar looks and the bartender, asking, why's he get a free drink? Bartender says, he's Staff.
