I am a software architect. I recently acquired my masters in Computer Science at Georgia Tech with their OMSCS program specializing in interactive intelligence. I absolutely love to grow software. That is right software grows. Some software grows better than others. Throughout my career in software industry I have realized that the development process is less of an engineering practice and more like art. Even today there are many techies, boffins, & skiddies (script kiddies) that fail to understand this concept and as a result plague the industry with failed software projects.

Why does writing software exhilarate me to the core? Because every software problem is a new challenge never before solved. Like landing on the moon in uncharted territory. A well written algorithm can put us light years ahead of hardware and we have not solved even a fraction of them. Take the shortest path problem as an example. Given some nodes and vertices with corresponding weights, find a path between two nodes whose sum of weights is minimal. We solved this problem but for a long time the solution’s difficulty increased exponentially as the number of nodes increased. Using the right algorithm to solve this problem helped to keep the airfare prices down. The knowledge within the domain of computer science is ever expanding and we have yet uncovered even the surface.

While most of my professional experience is with software, bitcoin is my passion. I started mining Ethereum in 2013 to later evolve into a bitcoin advocate. I believe strongly moving towards a better future where financial freedom is at the core to solving most of the world’s current problems.  Cointill helps merchants accept Bitcoin payments effectively driving in new profits and saving them money from credit/debit card fees. Cointill also offers merchants a way to host a Bitcoin ATM throughout the south eastern United States as the easiest way to buy/sell bitcoin with cash.
