Hi, I am newbie to dev but have been interested in Crypto for a number of years. Have done some mining in the past and a small investor in small Mcap tokens.
Looking forward to learning new skills and possibly developing a career in crypto in the future.

Hello All, Renier here. Born and raised in South Africa and immigrated to the U.S back in the 90s. I was a software programmer (for 20 years) and now a software applications architect. I have ventured in and out of the crypto space since 2015 and finally have fully immersed myself in this space!
Glad to be here and looking forward to absorbing as much as possible.

Hi there,
I’m Mark and have recently moved to QLD in Australia. I have been loosely following crypto since early 2018 and decided it is time to make more of the opportunity that the space provides. I’m 56yrs old and not looking for a career in crypto but looking to learn about the best way to spot projects that are worth investing in and take advantage of the whole DeFi space so that I can grow my stack. I wish everyone all the best and hope you get the best out of life.
Cheers.

Hello, my name is Alex, i signed up for the courses to gain some understanding on how Dapps work, and how they are made. We’re making a Dapp voting system as our undergrad project.
I’ve been involved in mining and crypto since 2017, but havent looked into actually coding anything myself before now. looking forward to gaining some new insights!

Hi Ivan, Ive been following the crypto space since the bear market of 2018, so I already know quite a bit about it. But since this whole lockdown business, Ive decided that I might want to work in this space full time, as I found my friends were always coming to me for information about it. But also because I enjoy it. I have always had an interest in markets and economics as well. Im thinking about getting a job in the crypto market in the City of London (specifically, that remains to be seen).
