I love hearing about people’s lives, so here’s how I ended up in crypto and working at @espressosys. In my last year of college, I took a blockchain class just because I needed another elective to graduate. Turns out, I absolutely loved the class. (Which says a lot considering I was not having fun otherwise.) I've only been interested in crypto ever since.

After college, I became a blockchain engineer for a trad-fi company. I really enjoyed it, but I wanted to work on consensus protocols, which wasn’t possible there. One day, I read a CoinDesk article about Espresso’s privacy product, CAPE. It seemed like the perfect bridge between trad-fi regulation and the crypto wild west that we had been looking for. I suggested CAPE as product for my team, but on a whim, I also applied for a job at Espresso.

I joined as a consensus engineer working on HotShot, where I got to contribute to both engineering and research. I had always wanted to do research, but never thought it would be possible for me. Yada, yada, yada, two years later I'm here doing “research" as my job. 🦀🍜 These days, I focus on solving fragmentation. Lately, I’ve been working with the Espresso team on TEEs for better interop, cross-chain messaging designs, and Eth ecosystem interop standards to name a few. Composability is an incredibly interesting problem to work on, so I never get sick of it.

Hey @vinayvasanji.eth! I’m here, though less active than I used to be. Joined @espressosys last yr to lead product marketing. Jill (@jrg) crushes the content game on X. She’s a machine. And @ellied & @keyao are absolute rockstars. Joining this team has convinced me we can make Ethereum composable again.
