Experience
- Titan Escrowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yB2mr-AB6TI&t=10s
Titan Escrow is an OTC tool that utilizes a time-locked Bitcoin script to guarantee the safety of funds.
The product uses a 2-of-3 multi-signature solution that allows large OTC sellers to show proof that they have the funds they wish to sell, with a timelock enabling them to retrieve their bitcoin at a future date if the deal expires. - Isomer Code School
Isomer Code School was a four-month programming bootcamp course which focused on teaching programming within a problem-solving context. We taught full-stack JavaScript in the MEAN.js framework.
I ran the school, designed the curriculum, and managed my co-instructors.
