10 years bringing new tech to markets. Former cloud robotics software engineer. MEng Electrical and Computer Engineering. Having always been a music event enthusiast, I have had frustrating experiences due to ticket scalping and inflated prices. I take this problem personally. Having fell down the crypto rabbit hole since 2017, I was thrilled when I realized that NFT ticketing was the cure for this problem, which led to starting ComeTogether in 2018.
