Thread: Developer Introductions

Hello everyone Devon from Florida …

Work
I am self-taught engineer of 20 years I started working with Novell Network years ago and then moved on to a product called Lotus Notes/Domino where I became and Admin/Developer. During that time I also added Java to my toolset which allowed me to build application that integrated Lotus Domino with Enterprise Java applications.

Moving to the present I was one of the early adopters of Cloud technologies I started working with AWS in early 2015 where I moved applications from Vmware to AWS Cloud. I presently work as Multi Cloud Security Architect and Security DevOps engineer.

Harmony

How I found Harmony ? Well on tops of staying up to date with all of the new tools in the Cloud and DevOps space I happen to also add Solidity and Blockchain Architect to my resume as I did multiple POCs for Hyperledger Fabric, Burrow and Besu to understand the security gaps from an enterprise perspective.

After doing the POCs I became excited about Blockchain so I started looking for great projects that could counter Ethereum as I don’t believe that one Blockchain would rule the world just like one cloud provider dont additionally the gas prices was crazy to say the least.

I became excited about Harmony after reading the white-paper and testing the main network by sending my own funds and realized that WOW !!! This thing is the real thing :slight_smile:

I was also excited about the Layer 2 aspect and bridging this is what sold me on Harmony.

How can I help

I believe having a strong technical community is key to building any software project today, I think creating an end to end tutorial and playbook would help garner more community adoption so my goal is to learn and create video and written playbooks to help this community grow as I truly believe this project is truly undervalued.

Forgive me for the long post …
