Gavin McDermott, currently working at IDEO CoLab on distributed systems, dispersed computing, peer-to-peer networks. Day to day, I'm building systems for the internet's much needed infrastructure and application rewrite. Before CoLab I was a founding engineer at BitGo, a bitcoin security company, and a front-end lead at Lovely. Recently I have been exploring consciousness, truth, symbology, and the concepts presented by some brilliant thinkers and makers dealing with the human expression, idea representation, and communication.
