About Will

Throughout my academic journey in Global Studies, with a concentration in Global Health and Development, I delved into the intricacies of sustainable economic systems at both macro and micro levels. Initially focused on broader aspects of global health and development, my interests gradually shifted towards seeking innovative solutions for economic empowerment.

As I progressed in my studies, I became captivated by the potential of blockchain technology to empower diverse communities and enhance their agency. Recognizing the transformative impact of blockchain in reshaping traditional economic paradigms, I redirected my coursework and research endeavors to explore the practical implementation of blockchain across various sectors.

In tandem with my major, I pursued a minor in Nonprofit Management, enriching my understanding of organizational structures and strategies for social impact. These educational pursuits equipped me with a distinct perspective on leveraging blockchain as a catalyst for sustainable development and the empowerment of marginalized communities.

Throughout my apprenticeship journey, I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate closely with an experienced mentor and an amazing team. Together, we embarked on an exciting project where we created MoonVault, an innovative application that could effortlessly gather transaction data and attestation data from the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS). This experience was not just about sharpening technical skills; it was about sharing ideas, overcoming challenges, and celebrating successes as a tight-knit group. It's been a journey that has not only enriched my professional skills but also deepened my understanding and proficiency as a blockchain developer, paving the way for future contributions in this dynamic field.

As a contributor at Carthago Publishing, I took the lead in exploring real-world applications and the tangible impact of blockchain technology. With a specific focus on showcasing how blockchain can empower marginalized communities to achieve better financial agency, I conducted in-depth research into existing case studies. Drawing from my expertise in blockchain concepts, I delved into concrete examples of blockchain initiatives that have uplifted underserved populations by enhancing transparency, security, and efficiency in transactional processes.

Through independent analysis and synthesis of findings, I unearthed compelling narratives that underscored the transformative potential of blockchain in addressing societal inequalities and fostering financial inclusion. This role not only allowed me to deepen my understanding of blockchain technology but also enabled me to contribute to Carthago Publishing's mission of delivering thought-provoking and impactful content to its audience.

As a research intern, I led investigations into the practical applications and real-world impact of blockchain technology, particularly focusing on its role in empowering marginalized communities to achieve better financial agency. Utilizing my expertise in blockchain concepts, I delved into existing case studies to understand how blockchain has been utilized in various contexts to address financial inclusion and uplift underserved populations. Independently analyzing data and synthesizing findings from these case studies, I examined concrete examples of blockchain initiatives that have enhanced transparency, security, and efficiency in transactional processes for marginalized communities. This research not only deepened my understanding of blockchain technology but also allowed me to contribute to the development of innovative solutions with tangible, positive outcomes for those most in need.
