About

I enjoy writing about all topics related to Fintech, cross-border payments, Insurtech, and other forms of financial tech innovations. The topics that interest me most are stablecoin regulations, quantum resistant tech, Ethereum and Bitcoin Core development, and scams orchestrated under the guise of ICOs, IEOs (and now NFTs). My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Computer Science, with a minor in Mathematics, Management Info Systems from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I also possess a Master of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Phoenix. I've been writing about fintech, digital currencies and distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based platforms since 2017. To date, I have written well over 25,000 articles - which have all been published. I have also edited around 3,500 articles. While completing my academic coursework, I engaged in independent study programs focused on public-key cryptography and quantum computing. My professional experience includes working as an application developer for the University of Houston, data storage specialist at Dell EMC, and as Teacher of Mathematics in the United States, China, and the Middle East.
