Hi everyone from Charlotte, NC! This is John here, and I am very interested in smart contract development. I’ve been following crypto for years but it hadn’t really clicked until I realized the potential of smart contracts. Looking forward to the JS and C++ bootcamp as well!

Hello everyone!
I am very happy to be starting the smart contracts course and thought I’d introduce myself to all of you by copy and pasting what I just wrote to my profile. 
Currently I am completing a Computer Science major at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
My fields of interest include security, hardware, networks, systems programming, mathematics, internet of things, and cryptography.
I pretty much love most areas of technology and have dabbled in a number of programming languages, such as Python, C#, C, C++, Java, Javascript (including NodeJS), PHP, and Rust.
Other things I enjoy when I have the time (which is hardly ever) include, video editing, using physics engines (UE4), gaming, as well as playing and writing music (guitar mainly, though I have been known to sing).
Even though I am very much a home body (dragging me away from my computer can be quite the task), I do enjoy get out and about in the world, including keeping myself fit with running, cycling and callisthenics.
I look forward to engaging with all of you and wish everyone to have the best experience here. Let’s make this community awesome!

Hello everyone.
I am from Slovenia and i am in this special crypto world for around a year. Since then i have spent a lot of time analyzing different coins and tokens and now i am ready to discover this technology also from other side. I am totally new in field of programming since my background is completely different (last year i finished Master’s programmes from economy and political science). Nevertheless im looking forward to new knowledge, experiences and opportunities.

I’m a blockchain Expert (more than 2 years involved in crypto space).
I’m working as Blockchain Architect @ SophiaTX (graphene based chain).
I’m a founder of the core-chain.io platform a smart contracts platform for the real estate and financial industries based on EOS, with its own side chain and stakeholder community.
I’m not a professional developer more the linux and opensource guy, and i’m very exited to be part of Ivans course 
@ivan is it still possible to apply for the course for some of our developers as it has started already?

Hi all,
My name is Sebastiaan van der Lans. In 2006 I founded Amsterdam based Open Source software agency ‘Van Ons’ (20+ developers, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) where we work on large scale WordPress websites for television programs, charities and SMB’s.
Since 2014 I work on Blockchain projects too, and I work hard to improve my blockchain programming skills on a weekly base!
I’m active as event organizer in the WordPress community and that’s what I aim to do to increase blockchain adoption in the Netherlands. I write for BlockchainKracht.nl, collected a Dutch Blockchain Introduction and started to organise Blockchain meetups (f.e. EOS Meetup Amsterdam).
In 2017 I wrote the book ‘Handboek voor Digitale Slagkracht’ to help Dutch SMB’s to accelerate their sales via digital marketing.
In my spare time I solve Rubik’s Cubes (45 secs average at moment of writing).
Looking forward to grow the Blockchain Industry together with all of you!

Hi y’all.
I’m Mark from Dallas, Texas in the United States. I also go by “Pancho” since that nickname seems to be more memorable. I was exposed to the cryptocurrency space around mid-December 2017 since I had extra time to research the field while on vacation. After watching several YT videos from Ivan, Cryptonauts, and others, I realized that blockchain technology possesses revolutionary potential. Soon afterwards, I made a couple investments in several cryptocurrencies knowing that they would be long term holds.
I joined Ivan’s course to acquire more in-depth detail about the programming aspects to better understand the technology. Honestly, I’m relieved that the course will start at a basic level since my degree is in mechanical engineering. I hope to make contributions to the community when the time comes.

Hi, my name is Martijn and I’m in IT since 1983 (no stranger to coding…) I sniffed at Bitcoin in 2009 and got serious in 2013. Now I want to get into the nitty gritty with the coding course to give myself some options for the years ahead and I can probably be of some assistence along the way to others

Who’s in with me?! 
Hi everyone!
My name is Krzysztof and I work as an operation administrator for Arrow Electronics which is a company specializing in electronic components and software distribution. I am very much interested in economy history, technology development, especially blockchain technologies. I have an idea for my own YouTube channel about crypto but first I would like to gather some more knowledge to be a reliable source of knowledge(or knawledge as Ivan would say 
).
I recently moved back to my home country- Poland- from the UK. Apart from my interest in blockchain and economy I travel quite a lot, mostly hitchhiking. I also train calisthenics.
Looking forward to meet you all and I’ll try to be as useful member of community as I can!
PS Let me know if we do have some Polish people around here! Give me a shoutout!
