We are excited to welcome new talent to our team! BC’s own programming veteran Joel Kinman has joined the Etherparty development team this week. Joel has over 17 years combined experience in game, web and app development, and has taken a programming lead on projects like Moodys Analytics, Appnovation, Kobo e-reader and Central 1.

We asked Joel a few tough introductory questions to introduce him to our community:

What has been your most challenging project?

The most challenging project is probably creating the web based platform called Engage for Recon Instrument’s wearable AR ski goggles. The platform was responsible for downloading data from the device and playing back on a map of the ski hill and telling you what run names / difficulty you skied that day, as well as preforming firmware updates and app installs.

Why blockchain/Etherparty?

I believe blockchain will fundamentally change many systems currently in place with government and finance and it’s just really cool. I want to be part of that change.

If you could take a one-day seminar in any subject, what would it be?

I’d love to learn how to weld!

We look forward to having Joel’s deep experience on our team as we work to bring our smart contract technology platform to the masses!
