    Starting 2015 worked as a researcher and engineer in the EthereumJS team. Created libraries such as ethereumjs-wallet and contributing heavily to ethereumjs-vm and other core packages. The Ewasm team spun out of EthereumJS with me taking leadership for a number of years. We have worked on implementing Ethereum-flavoured Webassembly (Ewasm in short) and performed research around execution on Ethereum, including EVM and "Eth 2.0". Parallel to this work have been contributing to language design and compiler engineering on Solidity starting 2015, later assuming co-lead position helping Christian build out the team, and finally both of us transitioning off.
