On Tuesday (May 17), an IT engineer explained why he quit his \u201ccomfortable and secured job at Capital One to help build out Cardano.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c$papagoogse\u201d describes himself on Twitter (where his ID is \u201c@PapaGooseCrypto<\/a>\u201c) as \u201cMaster Platform Engineer Finance \u2013 Cloud Computing \u2013 Platform Systems.\u201d According to his Twitter bio, he is currently CIO at Kora Labs<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Kora Labs is \u201ca cutting-edge software development agency building robust and resilient Web3 products and protocols on the Cardano blockchain.\u201d Their team has \u201ca combined 50+ years of engineering experience on enterprise scale solutions, including staking and mining expertise on Cardano and Ergo.\u201d <\/p>\n

They currently have a product called \u201cADA Handle<\/a>\u201c, which is \u201cAn\u00a0NFT-powered\u00a0naming solution for your Cardano wallet address, secured entirely on-chain via the Handle Standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here is how ADA Handle works:<\/p>\n

\u201cEach Handle is a unique NFT, minted and issued on the Cardano blockchain. These NFTs act as unique identifiers for the UTXO that they reside in. With a predictable standard, dApp developers can query the Cardano blockchain at any time to determine the current residing address of a Handle.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike many other routing services on Ethereum, Handles are secured entirely as native assets on the Cardano blockchain, on the Layer 1 ledger. This means we don\u2019t require smart contracts for address routing, ensuring that even in the event of an unlikely smart contract bug, routing will always be accurate \u2014 100% of the time.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Handle Standard supports version upgrading and backwards compatability. Once a version change happens, Partners are notified of the new version\u2019s Policy ID. Lookups happen from most recent Policy ID to the first, incentivizing upgrades among users to ensure faster retrieval results. This allows the Handle Standard to evolve with the broader Cardano ecosystem.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Yesterday, he explained in a Twitter thread<\/a> why he had chosen to leave his TradFi job at what seems like \u201cthe worst time to be making a change like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IT engineer went on to say:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been a systems and platform engineer for nearly three decades. More specifically in TradFi for a third of that. I had front row seats to the rise of both Web1 (beginning internet) and Web2 (smartphones\/social).<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI can see clear as day the rise of Web3 and the importance of blockchain in changing the financial landscape. The constant and nonsensical churn of the current economy only solidifies and expedites that resolve.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fledgling crypto world is inundated with finance bros, whales, cash grabs, and poorly planned tech. But there are some gems. Cardano is one of them.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe Web3 and DeFi will be supported by many different blockchain technologies, and Cardano will be the archetype of the most successful of them.<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

He close his thread by singing the praises of Cardano ($ADA) and IOG:<\/p>\n

But to top it off, Cardano is backed by an organization motivated by and committed to RealFi accessibility and adoption with those who need it most and a proven track record of delivering methodically and responsibly.<\/p>\n

While answering questions from the people who replied to this thread, he gave some details about his programming background:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

TI Basic was my first language. But I spent the most time in C# and dotnet core. Transitioned to Python some time back. Plutus is my newest endeavor.<\/p>\n

He also revealed what he will be focusing on at his new position:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Increasing the accessibility of Cardano in the digital identity space.<\/p>\n
