One of our projects included the design, programming and testing of a web-based point-of-sale application named ‘iWin POS’. It wasn’t a success; however, during these years we discovered Bitcoins and I took up an interest in Blockchain technology.

Audiobook Narrations
James Allen – From Poverty to Power (1901)
The works of James Allen is a guiding compass on how I conduct my life, character and mannerisms. I personally believe that this English author who lived from 1864 to 1912 reached the heights of spiritual emancipation and left a number of books to assist and renew the faith of those following the same righteous pathway.
James Allen’s first book is a refuge for those who seek to find a permanent escape from all human suffering. As the foreword suggests it was written for men and women, rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly.
His enlightened pen fills my heart with bliss and the pages of this book (in my humble opinion) contain the doctrine of true religion without dogmatic exclusion or exclusivity.

Working on something interesting?
I’m always looking at connecting with like-minded professionals in the ever evolving, fast paced industry of decentralised computing. In particular, any projects which focus on the automation and improvement of outdated humanitarian processes (e.g. aid-distribution, monitoring and transparency).
Researching, raising venture capital and funding projects for the future – Web3
