I've watched Bitcoin emerge from the depths of the internet in early 2011.  Since then I: invested in it, traded it, worked with Bitcoin companies, built Bitcoin startups, got rekt on MtGox and lost private keys (on a tragic boating accident).  Throughout the years I've studied Bitcoin's architecture in depth, attended and spoke on many Bitcoin conferences and meetups, discussed it's flaws and good parts in detail.  tl;dr: Talk Bitcoin to me.

I have a very deep understanding of LN.  I understand it both in deeply technical terms, as well as from the end-user perspective.  I've been running LN nodes since mid-2017, and explaining it to people even before that.

I can help you understand it, build on top of that, create a deep integration with it, debug it, and sometimes recover funds lost.

I love Go.  Since I've discovered it, I've been fascinated by how well thought-through and designed it is.  And on top of that it keeps changing for the better all the time! 

My experience with Docker is quite new, but during that time I was able to learn a lot about cross-platform builds, automated build/deployment pipelines, and optimizing Docker images for: size, resiliance, reproducability, etc. 

Everybody's most and least favourite language.  Really easy to start with, but filled with tons of quirks and pitfalls as you go deeper into it.

Android ecosystem fascinates me since it's creation.  I enjoy making Android apps and I always strive to make them a delight to users.
