I’m Portia Burton and I’m the creator of Blockchain Explainer. I started my career as a machine learning engineer at Trapit and then worked as a software developer at The Atlantic Magazine. Now I’m working at Slock.it as a blockchain engineer coding up decentralized applications. I created the Blockchain Explainer blog to discuss the blockchain projects and code out there in the world.

I fervently believein coding the change you want to see in the world! 🌎
