Move Over Brokers Here Comes The Blockchain

Hi, it’s Keir Finlow-Bates here. I’m currently an inventor of blockchain technologies and an entrepreneur, living in Finland with my Finnish wife and our large happy family. I was born in Australia but grew up in Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.

I went to Cambridge University to study mathematics, but switched to information engineering in my final year, mainly because half the course was a repeat of the second year mathematics course and it seemed like an easier option. I then moved on to London South Bank University where I gained a Ph.D. in mathematics and education.

I’ve spent most of my career as a software test engineer and quality assurance manager. I used to have hobbies such as foraging for wild mushrooms, brewing my own beer, and writing bad poetry, but these days I split my time equally between working on new blockchain concepts, looking after my kids, and when I get the chance, sleeping.
