My name is Niko and im from finland, I have been doing all kinds of shit jobs from construction to plasmacutter and truckdriving and got bored and frustrated with sweating to get some other guy get their bonuses. Started to learn programing in Savonia Code Academy, open university and now noticed this awesome place to learn about blockchain and thought why not give it a try.
My passions are videogames, cooking, learning everything and offcourse last but not least my family, good time to watch videos or read something while having my turn taking care of couple weeks old baby at night.

Hi all 
I am from Zimbabwe originally, but now live in London. I am self employed as a carpenter and love what I do. My interest in blockchain comes from the fact that I believe it can give people their power back 
I am very excited about learning this technology and hopefully playing a part in changing the world with it!
In my spare time I write music and play guitar. I am starting to produce my own music too, including some electronic songs. I believe in the law of attraction and that we are creators of our own reality

Hi everyone, my name is Steven and I am from Miami.I’ve had an interest in crypto for some time and stumbled upon Ivan’s channel not too long ago. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the content and the energy that Ivan brings to the table. I decided that now is a better time than ever to dive deep and turn my interest of crypto and blockchain technologies into a potential career down the line. I’m excited for what in store and to be working with everyone here.

Hello, my name is Chance! I am a music producer who creates halftime hip hop influenced bass music. I have been doing that for a number of years. Things are going pretty well for me in that area but with coronavirus and everything happening there are no venues to play shows only downtime to make beats. I saw Ivan On Tech on youtube and saw a seminar and was interested in making a career path in crypto for myself. Tried learning trading over and over again but have lost so much money doing it. I’m giving up on that and want to pursue an actual career in programming or something of the likes since I’m great with computers! Thanks for the opportunity I’m super excited!

Hello, my name is Scott. I first got interested in cryptocurrency back in 2016, just as I was finishing a Computer Science program. Since then I’ve had only a few web dev projects, but have been looking for an opportunity to work with blockchain directly and I’m really excited about joining Ivan On Tech Academy.

Hello, for now let’s just say I’m Snorlax.
I am 25y old, graduated Uni in Ghent (Belgium) last year. I was looking for a job when the whole covid era begun and I was “locked” inside my house.
Started watching youtube and stocks at first. One day I came across some cryptochannels, not sure why it was poping up in my face, but I’m glad it did and I clicked on it. Almost instantly made a 180 to crypto and started my adventure.
So that seems ancient history right now, thou 6months ago…
If I may say this, * it’s been a HURRICANE * what the damn hell!!!* And I say this in the most happy, excited, blown away kind of way. This is what I’ve been waiting for -not knowing it existed- , and am putting every last minute in it right now. I am not sure yet where this might take me, but for the first time in a very, very long time: I know without a doubt this is the only right direction.
(might be the BBP I’m wearing)
Let’s gogogogogogog
Nice to meet everyone

Hey everyone - My name is Lorenzo and I am from southern CA, nice to meet y’all!
I’ve been following Ivan since 2017 or '18, and finally decided I want to have more in depth training into blockchain tech.
I’ve worked in the video games 
industry the last 15 years in a lot of different roles (Technical Art, UX, UI, Illustration, and Front End). I love art, games and I love how technology can form new mediums and ways of getting along in the world.
When I’m not making games I am probably out painting somewhere as I enjoy painting outside to set my mind at ease.
Thanks for reading,
Lorenzo

Hi everyone, My name is Eddie, The Flying Dutchman .
I became interested in the DeFi and Cryptocurrency industry at the beginning of this year (2020) and I have become totally addicted to it. I am now studying full time on Ivan’s Blockchain Academy and I have decided that I want to become a blockchain developer and at some point set up my own project in this new and exciting young industry. I’m looking forward to this new course to get a deeper understanding of what DeFi stands for and maybe meet some nice people who think alike. Good luck everyone, enjoy!
