Bullish on DApps. Currently at Abridged. DApperNetwork. LA Blockchain Lab. USC Viterbi Faculty. Eric discovered Ethereum in 2016 and learned how to write smart contracts in early 2017. He’s pushed technical blockchain education through the formal academic route as adjunct faculty at USC and the alternative coding bootcamp route as founder of DApperNetwork. He is convinced that the decentralization of features should be positively correlated to a user’s comfort with web 3, and is working to make this design pattern applicable by any developer for their dapp through his current startup, Abridged. He’s frequently organized developer meetups, conferences, and hack nights for the LA community.
