My name is Wesley and very excited to be part of a new community. I have always been apart of crypto in some form or another just have always let everything else get in the way, now is time for change and to get rid of regret for not clicking that buy button when bitcoin was $11. Can’t wait to help make crypto’s apart of everyday life.!
I live in North Carolina and spent most my life working for someone else breaking my back, tired of that life,specially since i’ve always been a tech guy.

Hi, I’m Craig from Dublin Ireland and today is my first day at the academy.
Currently I am an EPOS engineer but have been a big fan of Bitcoin for 2 years. When I first became interested in alt coins i researched some point of sale tokens and eventually found IvanOnTech on YouTube. Ivans passion for Crypto is amazing.
I too have passion but not enough real knowledge to make a career at this point, so over the next couple of months I will cover all the basics and hopefully find a niche that really drives me towards a new career.
I completed a 2 year diploma in computer programming , hardware and networks about 5 years ago which I loved and hopefully I can dust of the cobwebs.
I look forward to working with you all.

Hello everyone! I am originally from the state of Arizona and I’m Ukrainian by ethnicity. Currently, I reside in the capital of the Republic of Georgia (Tbilisi) and have been very much interested in the crypto community for the last six months due to my 4 years of experience in the Army working on cryptologic systems.
Fun facts about myself: I have had the opportunity to train military officers from over 50 different countries and have thus far been to 17 different countries across multiple continents to include Africa, Asia, the America’s, and Europe. Besides crypto stuff, I also will teach English and have learned various kinds of liturgical chant to include Carpathian Slavonic chant and Latin Gregorian Chant.

Greetings All.
I did income taxes for a few years after retiring from the military as a Blackhawk helicopter test pilot. My main interest in block chain tech is as an investor but I am not afraid to get my hands dirty with some programming and testing. I was pretty good with DOS back in the day and a little HTML. I think I can learn the new stuff. Maybe I can find a team to work with here.

Hello All,
I’m a technology OG based South Jersey in the United States.
Former CIGNA, Chubb Insurance (AceGroup), Accenture Consultant employee and now owner/independent contractor for Gartner Technology.
From 2006-2009 I was responsibility for the General Ledger, Reinsurance & Other Financial Systems at Chubb (Formerly AceGroup) as the SME/Technical Lead. Recent, I was the technology project manager for T-Mobile Money
During my tenure at Chubb we spent a lot of efforts in balancing the financial systems. The majority of these system were Batch :(. The moment I heard about Bitcoin and Blockchain I knew this was the future.
Fortunately now I have the opportunity to chase this dream with the help of Ivan, team and you the other students. I’m looking forward to working with everyone.
Thanks,
-Andrew (Crypto_Mofo)

Hey all! Looking forward to getting my learn on at the Academy 
I’m mainly known as a Creative type with nearly 20 years experience with Adobe CS, photography, videography and marketing strategy. However, after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and experiencing something similar in my own life, I delved into the world of finance and investment. After studying monetary history extensively, I’m now digging deep into how decentralized finance, blockchain-based currencies and smart contracts are going to change the business landscape for years to come. Looking forward to it!

Hi everyone!!! My name is Arindam Katoch, but you can call me Ari. I am a recent graduate from Pennsylvania State University as a Material Scientist and Engineer. I am currently looking for jobs, but I wanted to the rest of my time to focus on developing myself. Therefore, I decided to enroll in the academy to learn and gain valuable knowledge on how I can use blockchain development with my major, as well as figuring how to integrate my interest(ie: art and architecture) with blockchain. I believe the academy will open up new fields of interests and I just can wait!!
PS: I hope everyones health is at their best and please take good care of yourselves.

Hello everyone. My name is Nathan. I just joined the Academy. I quit my job as a Frontend Developer 6 months ago so I could take some time off and travel. I got 4 months in to a trip abroad when borders started closing and I had to return to the US. Now I’m looking to get back in to development but as a Blockchain Developer. I’m hoping the Academy and this community can help me get there and I hope I can help others in some way.

Hello Ivan and friends,
I am Jordan from California and I am here to expand my horizons. I have been a Bitcoin Hodler since 2015 and thought now was the time to really dive deeper into the foundation of blockchain technology and educate myself while the market is still fairly young. I joined the academy today, albeit I wish I would have done this earlier, and am looking forward to educating myself and growing into this community.
