From the 1990s to 2015, I worked as a cyber crime investigator across 18 countries. During this time I co-founded the Asian School of Cyber Laws, assisted the Government of India and authored the Cyber Crime Investigation Manual, hailed as a "bible for cybercrime investigators" by the Times of India.
I first heard of Bitcoin in 2011 while assisting the police in a drug mafia case. I found Bitcoin fascinating and even mined some, but then made one of my biggest mistakes by "deleting" my private keys!
Since 2015 I have been working full time in Blockchain & Crypto. During this time I co-founded BankChain, a community of 37 banks (including SBI, Citibank, ICICI, Deutsche Bank) + IBM, Microsoft, and Intel.
I have also been a consultant for the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub for preparing a Whitepaper on Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
Through the Crypto Profits premium newsletter, I help people make serious money from Crypto.
I teach the free Blockchain Engineering Program (BE+) and am the Chief Blockchain Architect of HYFI Blockchain, a zero-gas, Layer 1 Blockchain protocol for Synthetic Assets.
