Armed with the degree and knowledge gained at Kaplan I founded an open source research-oriented consultation and project management firm, Tech Enterprises, in 2010. Throughout my experience I was able to beta test and try nearly everything out there in the open source arena and became intimately familiar with the accepted practices involved in organizing an open source development and code auditing community.
Following a rough period taking care of my grandmother in her late years, able to put very little time into work and spending much of my savings, I nearly gave up on technology as a solution until relearning of Bitcoin in late 2013 and more importantly the still-in-development Ethereum Computer which I have been heavily invested in ever since. Tech Enterprises is now an Ethereum-centered research and development firm and we are currently working for ourselves to launch our next project, codenamed GuildSkrypt.
2015 I began pivoting the business plan for Tech Enterprises from a private R&D firm to an open-recruit guild whom collaboratively produce project deliverables.
2016 was a major year for getting back into the game as I joined and helped to form TheDAO and in its collapse the foundation of Divvy DAO and Trustless Tokens.
2017 we are capacity building as we switch from a Drupal-based CMS to Python and Django to serve the user-facing side of our Dapps.
2018 is our intended launch of GuildSkrypt which Tech Enterprises will then Incorporate to adopt bylaws governed by the blockchain.
