Status

In 2017 I joined Status as a Clojure programmer and in 2018 I became Head of Engineer, building and leading several teams of ~50 engineers. In 2019 I changed my focus to protocol research, creating Vac Research to solve some of the fundamental problems we were facing.

As part of Status, I worked on the mobile app and experimented with new ways of working in a decentralized, principle-driven and remote organization. Here are some relevant links:
