Question 1:
What motivated you to become a Blockchain Developer and what impact has it had on your career so far?
The booming NFTs in early 2020 piqued my interest and inspired me to explore the web3 space. I wanted to deepen my understanding of the emerging blockchain industry, so I decided to undertake a project-based study that would increase my knowledge. From there, opportunities presented themselves and I embraced every one of them. My main motivation has been to continuously grow my knowledge and pursue my passion by working on new projects every day. It has had an immense impact on my career, it has allowed me to turn my passion into a profession and to stay at the cutting edge of this exciting new technology. By embracing web3, I have had various opportunities at TekRevol to gain hands-on experience developing smart contracts, designing the architecture for dApps, writing technical documents and providing solutions to businesses across different industries. Being a Blockchain Developer has also given me more visibility and recognition within my network and the larger community, which in turn has enabled me to explore more opportunities that would otherwise have been inaccessible.

Question 3:
What have been some of the biggest challenges you have faced as a Blockchain Developer, and how did you overcome them?
As a Blockchain Developer, one of the main challenges I faced was understanding the technology in its entirety and mastering it to be able to apply it to various projects. To overcome this challenge, I researched extensively and explored different tutorials and whitepapers to get an understanding of how blockchain works. I also sought help from my peers who were experienced in the field and practiced building small projects with the help of those mentors. Additionally, I joined various online communities related to blockchain development that enabled me to keep up-to-date with new developments in the space. Through my research, exploration, and practice, I have now become well-versed in blockchain technology and development processes.

Question 5:
What do you think is the most innovative use of blockchain technology that you’ve seen in the workplace?
The most innovative use of Blockchain that I’ve seen in the workplace is using it to power a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). A DAO can allow for distributed decision-making among stakeholders, where decisions are made through collective voting, giving all participants an equal say in matters. Furthermore, this model can help increase employee satisfaction and morale as everyone has a chance to weigh in on important matters. Additionally, having a token-based system allows employees to be rewarded with additional benefits and rewards within the workspace. We have been testing both mentioned above at TekRevol and it will be implemented very soon.
