Anthony Tsui cover letter for ConsenSys Academy

gistfile1.txt

Hello ConsenSys,

I have been developing software for the banking and brokerage industry since 2000, my most recent job was the CTO of
Voleo USA, a FINRA registered broker-dealer catering to investment clubs (groups of friends or family).

I built that brokerage from scratch, we had native Android, iOS, and Web apps, along with the brokerage backend, 
it was in Java, PHP, Coffeescript, Javascript. Unfortunately, for most of my career I have been working on enterprise
systems so I do not have code on Github that you can review.

I have also been a Bitcoin enthusiast since 2014, not just for HODLing, but using it to make transactions, loans, etc.

I truly believe in the utility of the blockchain, I want my next job to be in blockchain, writing decentralized applications.

For example, I took a workshop from Vanbex, and participate in Dapps hackathons.

Won 2nd place for a decentralized Amazon Mechanical Turk:

So when my Ethereum friend (Matt Lockyer of ERC-998) told me about Consensys Academy, I was excited for the opportunity
to learn from the leaders of the industry.

With my fintech experience and euthsiasm for decentralization. I hope you find me to be a fit for your program.

Regards,
Anthony Tsui
