As a matter of fact, I’m drawn to the crypto academy community mission of encouraging users to learn about the nook and cranny of the crypto space. I believe in this mission and I will love to be a part of it.

My Experience in the Crypto World

Steem Blockchain

On the 13^th of December 2017, I received a mail. Unknown to me at the time, the content of that mail held a key that would unlock several doors later on. It was a message from Steemit notifying me that my account has been approved. Back then, you needed to fill an application form to create an account on Steemit. It could take days, weeks, or even months to get approved.

Since then, I have worked on several projects in the Steem blockchain. My articles were regularly nominated by fellows of the SndBox Incubation Programme, SteemStem, and Steemit Education. Additionally, I contributed to the musing.io project. Musing.io is a Quora-inspired platform built on the Steem blockchain.

Others

I also worked with the Caspian team. Caspian is a risk and portfolio management system.

Why I Would Make a Good Crypto Professor

I am a professional writer who just earned his master’s degree in data analytics. I feel combining my professional and educational experience with my background in accounting and economics makes me prepared to serve as a Steemit Crypto Professor.

During my 13 years experience as a writer, I have gathered several tools and have developed the skill set required to detect plagiarism, word spinning, and content farming. I have also organized seminars in my locality to teach people how to become good content creators.
