About
Hello ๐๐ป, I'm Dr. Jack ้ณ็พฒๆ (่ถ ๆ). As a fintech/web3 tech lead, book author, designer, and educator, my expertise spans various domains. By day, I spend most of my time working with a group of talented engineers and product managers to build innovative products and services. I specialize in trading platforms, blockchain oracles, compliance systems, and product innovation. By night, I follow my passion and play around with things that excite me. One particular project that I am proud of is the book ๐ Python API Development Fundamentals I authored a few years back, which is a comprehensive guide to building RESTful APIs with Python.
I am a strong advocate for web3 and blockchain technology. I also hold a PhD ๐ with research focus on blockchain-enabled transparency, DAO concepts, and organizational value in regulated emerging markets. My recent open-access paper, Blockchain-Enabled Transparency and Organizational Value, was published in the International Journal of Financial Studies (2026) โ see all of my publications. I have been actively involved in the blockchain community since 2017 and have been working on various projects in the space. I am also a proud owner of some crypto assets as well as a few NFTs ๐ผ and have been experimenting with different blockchain technologies.
Being a passionate learner, I travel a lot โ๏ธ, exploring new cultures and meeting new people. I also have multiple side projects (or experiments) ongoing that you may find interesting, such as this personal website that I built. Apart from being a sandbox for me to play around with different technologies, it is actually connected to my social media account (Instagram) and knowledge management system (Notion), allowing me to easily share my life and thoughts with you. By now, you can see that my life philosophy is to always be learning and sharing knowledge with others.
Every skill you acquire doubles your odds of success.
If you want to connect with me, you have my email and Telegram handle above. You can also follow me on Instagram & Facebook. I'm open to collaborations ๐ค๐ค๐ค, business inquiries, and interviews. I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, so feel free to reach out to me in any of these languages.
