My background in Web2 dates back to 2017 when I first became interested in blockchain technology. I found it so fascinating that I decided to take a break from school and moved to Seoul to immerse myself in the world of blockchain. Back then, simply discussing blockchain was incredibly exciting, so I actively participated in various seminars and academic conferences to expand my knowledge.
In 2020, I realized I wanted to create a meaningful product using blockchain technology that could change people's perception of it, as many considered it a scam at the time. With this in mind, I chose to focus on the field of donations, as the characteristics of blockchain and donations complemented each other well. As a result, I developed a blockchain-based donation platform called "키다리아저씨" (The Long-legged Uncle).
Through collaborations with organizations such as Beautiful Store and Sharehouse, I worked on expanding the reach of my platform. My ultimate goal was not only to change people's perception of blockchain but also to shift the negative views surrounding donations. I am particularly proud of this project as it allowed me to leverage my passion for blockchain to make a positive impact on society. Prior to this, I had developed various smaller projects, but "키다리아저씨" (The Long-legged Uncle) truly allowed me to showcase my skills and dedication to the cause.
