Hi all, I am a software engineer and have been a blockchain geek since 2012. I know some solidity, but want to fill in the gaps with my JavaScript and front-end knowledge. I have a feeling that learning from Ivan and Filip is a solid bet. Looking forward to diving into the course!
I spend my days as a design engineer/researcher. Currently entertained by mass customisation and modularity in products/engineering solutions.
Everyone talks about programming here. Well, I loved those hexedit editor days when you could type assembly code directly and save it as a MS-DOS .com file. The only language I have realistically used since then is Lua. And lately it is only graphical generative algorithms and some ‘scripting’ in CAD applications. Actually, modifier driven shapes/products are fun, that would be in Blender 3D.
I am here to get a bit more practical view on HyperLedger and IT business side.
It looks like there are mostly constructive people here - let’s connect on social media.

Hey everyone, it’s great to be here. I’m a preschool gym, science, and English teacher in China and I’ve been learning about this space since the craze last year. I’ve been interested in technology since I was a kid in the late nineties and my interest has grown over time. I’ve finished the blockchain fundamentals class and I’m currently enrolled In the programming course and the blockchain business course. Planning on getting much more involved next summer when I move back to the US and have more skills and opportunities. Thanks to Ivan and his team for this great resource, I look forward to being able to give back to the community and help others when I’m more qualified to do so! Cheers!

Hi everyone!
I’m Ariel, originally from Buenos Aires (Argentina) but based in Paris.
Two years ago I’ve discovered Bitcoin and became very interested in the technology behind. I have an idea about blockchain, not able yet to answer technical questions but I understand the stakes of open and private blockchains.
I’m trying to learn as much as possible, not to save the world, sorry about that, but I need to have some experience, contacts and a great team before trying to save the world lol.
The reason I joined Ivan Academy ( by the way congratulations Ivan, I’ve discovered you thanks to an interview you made to Grant Cardone ) is to learn how to code smartcontracts. My goal is to use that knowledge on the blockchain of Bitcoin thanks to RSK platform, particularly trying to explore RIF platform. Since RSK is compatible with Ehterium, then I (technically) believe I could use that knowledge to try to create something.
I’m not a dev, never coded in my life , I just took some HTML classes on codeacademy and that’s it. However, what drives me to learn is to really use this technology into the real economy by doing simple things like trying to create an smartcontract that will allow me to work with other people around the world without using banks and without even need to trust them. If I succeed that, for me is a great start.
I’m interested on social media content production via livestreaming using only smarthphones ( MOJO - mobile journalism- is called ) I’m looking for open minded people around the world (particularly in Europe - any country- ) that have some knowledge of video filming, art (street art), or even acting. If by miracle there is someone here, happy to contact.
Of course, once I have the skills to answer questions about smartcontracts it will be my pleasure to help anyone who needs it.
Have a great day!
Best wishes,
Ariel

Thank you Ivan! It’s a pleasure to meet you (virtually) and be part of this community
My name is sumit and I work as a Accounting & Finance expert…
Research and Analysis is my passion…
Want to start a blockchain based startup, here to learn the programming from scratch and make some good friends with whom i can team up with.
I live in Mumbai, India…I love Outdoor Sports, specially Running.
Hello, the name is Andres, I’m a Electrical Engineer (mayor in electronics, control and computer systems), I discover blockchain in 2011, I begin as a miner until the difficulty became too high to mine with gpu, then mine some altcoins, then became a trader. I’m Venezuelan, so my interest had always remain secret (being a public cryptocurrency activist can turn you into a target for crime and corrupted officials). Hopefully times seems to be changing so I’m trying to figure out ways to fit cryptocurrency and smart contracts on daily business.
I had some experience on c ANSI and c++ (not as much as I like to, just the amount needed for some microcontrollers), at this moment I’m trying to learn more about the smart contract (solidity, javascript, etc.).
I have been following Ivan youtube channel since the begining of 2017, it was the the first person that i saw on youtube talking about cryptos from a developer perpective and that what I like about it.
Hi, my name is Luis, I´m from Mexico. I have little programming knowledge, GWBasic, Turbo Pascal, C and C++ back in my youth. Now I can see that blockchain programming is the future and I don’t want to be out of this.
I’m glad to be part of this community, let’s learn together.

Hello! I want to learn smart contract programming! Thank you!
Hello guys! My name’s Alex, I am Founder and CEO of Dereferee project.
Into crypto around for 2 years, first traded now we created our own project (if somebody would have told me about it 2 years ago, i would probably just laugh about it). Huge regards to Ivan and the team, because almost all i know about the crypto came from the youtube channel!
I strongly believe that blockchain technology is the future for any industry/niche. I’m into sports my whole life, that is why I and my team are creating a new way for people around the globe to train and make the process as fun as possible!
Most of the time I work with our project, but also I’m a competing bodybuilder (When I was younger I played football, but now - iron addict).
Hello All!
I’m Bridget, and have just finished my second course with Ivan on Tech Academy, Blockchain Business Masterclass. I also took the Blockchain Fundamentals course when it first came out.
I am a business systems consultant with a background in IT systems and software, with a degree in Accounting. I am mostly self-taught in technologies so the move into cryptocurrency was a natural one. I have consulted with credit unions on blockchain and crypto (beginner & Level 2 presentations to business leaders and board members in that arena), and I have founded with a business partner, the Minnesota Blockchain Initiative. We are working to get our home state of Minnesota into a proactive rather than reactive place with the coming technologies and will be creating community and education in all the right areas: business, investment, education sector, and regulatory guidance on the state level.
I highly recommend Ivan and Filip’s courses, the two I’ve taken have helped me a great deal in my changing career. Ivan was one of the first blockchain teachers I came across when I caught on to crypto and I am grateful for his knowledge.
Cheers! And I hope to come back to this forum for community and learning again.

Hi there, im Dmitrij, have little knowledge in all that stuff but i think i will be able to handle this, or at least will definitely have a try. Good luck to me ))))
Hello everyone, I just started Ivan’s programming course and just wanted to introduce myself.
I’m just a regular guy who currently invests and play games using blockchain technology. I really believe blockchain is the future and since I’m still considered an early adopter of the tech, I figured why not learn how it all works from the root.
I also have a YouTube channel but I’m not so good at making videos lol
I’m keeping this short and sweet because I’m eager to continue the course. I hope to meet many of you on a more personal level soon.
Thanks for reading!

Ahoy everyone !
Holly Bitcoin am I happy t.b. here, starting the Business course to learn more than what I got from BC for business courses at my employer (IT) of 10 yrs. I got into BC 1.5 yrs ago and ever since seek new knowledge, check market, startup and corporate views. Comparing. 1-2 hrs a day.
Not considered programming yet - I am more of a creative business/PM/sales person. Which was my role + pitching in a Blockchain Hackathon. We got 2nd place with a group of friends. I am no shark, I guess not a grain of sand either, hence the picto. 
favs: btc, crypto, travel, cooking, truth, freedom, all the good stuff.
With love for the bear market,
Desert mouse.
Hey everybody,
