Professional Profile
Currently, I work at the Web3 Foundation, covering numerous responsibilities, but mainly security and communications.
One of the main projects of the foundation is the Polkadot network. A next generation blockchain platform. To read more about the innovation that Polkadot is bringing to the blockchain industry I invite you to read the following blog post: [link].
LinkedIn – Find me on LinkedIn if you wish to see my professional career profile. I would prefer if people added a personal message to say how they found me.
Blockchain Gaming
Recently, I’ve been blogging a lot about blockchain gaming. In the first post I argue for putting more of the game state on-chain [link]. In later pieces I discuss how to verify the actions of players and how that fits with using Polkadot to power them. I also consider how we can fund and govern such a game too, which is tricky if such games will be open source by default.
If that doesn’t sound crazy enough, I postulated that we could turn gaming guilds into securitized DAOs. I naively suggested they can be companies, but a friend suggested that they should potentially be either mutuals, partnerships, or actual guilds.
What if we could take the Golem project and turn it into a Decentralised version of Google Stadia? [link]
