      Sept 2016 - now
      Blockchain Developer

      I fell into the cypherpunk rabbit hole when I was studying for my bachelor's degree at theUniversity of Manchester. At the time, my parents could not send me any money from Iran due to US sanctions on Iranian banks. Around 2016, out of a necessity for survival, I discovered Bitcoin and because of this, I managed to pay for my university tuition and finish my degree. After graduating, I studied over 1700 pages of reports and studies that proved Altcoins would provide significantly higher returns than just bitcoin in each market cycle euphoria phase. I did some back-tests using Shrimpy, wrote a few bots that would scrapeEtherscan and other blockchain explorers to look for Erc20 tokens with potential and developed a portfolio management strategy that grew my public portfolios from $20,000 to well over 12 million dollars at its peak.

      I created Ilisium to create a third solution for immigration and Statelessness.Currently, if someone is trapped in a non-democratic state that abuses its powerand violates human rights, the only way to a better life is by going through lengthylegal procedures that can last decades to obtain new citizenship. Ilisiumattempts to provide a neutral passport for investors and individuals that haveobtained a postgraduate degree. this way people are not discriminated againstsimply based on their place of birth.Researched more than 1800 pages of International law and scholarly articlesto find the correct way of implementing the Ilisian Passport. this led to adiscovery on the lack of papers on water stress migration on Iran despite thefact that the country is currently facing water bankruptcy.
