I have an exciting announcement:
I have officially joined @aztecnetwork as part of the @aztecFND as a Technical Educator 🩷
At Aztec, I will be doing exactly what I have been doing up until now: making it as easy and fun as possible to be a developer. Only now, I will be focussing on helping developers build apps with programmable privacy on Aztec
For blockchains to get mainstream adoption, we need decentralisation and privacy. With Aztec this is now finally possible. I want to do my bit to make sure all the smartest people can get inspired to build on Aztec and hopefully have a fab experience while doing so. So, I will be creating content, supporting the ecosystem, working on the devex and more🤍
I am both sad to be leaving @cyfrin and excited for this next chapter. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with such an awesome team and want to say thank you to everyone I have worked with at Cyfrin - I can’t wait to see what you guys all do next 🫶🏼 so much love to you. Thank you @PatrickAlphaC for being the best mentor 🩵
I also just wanted to say a big thank you to @Arnaudschenk and @alejoamiras for this opportunity. I feel so lucky to be able to work on such an awesome project with such talented people.
gAztec and lmk if you wanna build some privacy dapps 🔥 let’s get it party people
