Nomination 🗳️

Nominee Name

Michael Lodder mikelodder7

Short Personal Bio

I have a BS in Computer Engineering, MS in Electrical Engineering, and PhD in Cyber Operations. I have been working in the context of Security, Privacy, Anonimity, and Cryptography for 2 decades. I started working with Bitcoin in 2009 and Sovrin in 2016. I've been anxious to address many of the issues in this space from a technical perspective and that was part of my PhD research. I've have experience in many industries including work in US Government, Healthcare, Market research, Coinbase, Sovrin, and LIT protocol.

Short Personal Pitch

I believe that open wallets are the key to future adoption of crypto and decentralized products like identity and MPC. Much of this relies on having a background in hardware, software, and cryptography. I've been a bridge for these industries for decades and look forward to working with others to improve the standards and collaboration.
