4 years ago my foray into democracy began, having devised technology that would quickly become the world’s first Blockchain voting system in use by a national audience. This technology has the opportunity to save money, save lives, and play a part in the eradication of political corruption. United Nations HQ in NYC, SAP TechEd in Las Vegas, Vivid Sydney, and BMW Foundation’s Global Table in Norway are just some of the invitations I had to tell our story and talk about what is possible. Most recently, I was awarded the World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer Award for this work.
