Hello Steemit, I'd like to Introduce Myself

Hello Steemers, my name is Robert, but people call me Han.

(I'm the one in the blue)

I’m stoked to join the community, and would like to introduce myself. Forgive my overzealousness, but I have already posted four times before this post.

Firstly, I’d like to say that I am thrilled to have found this community, I've searched for such a bleeding edge approach to social for a long time, I even made a social app myself, which(cough) failed. Nonetheless, I have continued to learn and create despite both failures and triumphs.

I am not a huge fan of Facebook, so I have included a link to my LinkedIn page as proof of identity.

Here goes a short bio:

I moved to San Francisco from Southern California in my early twenties to pursue a career in art. By fate or luck or something in between, I met a computer programming Buddhist Monk who subsequently taught me how to program and meditate. I joined a new-age Buddhist monastery or cult(depending on your viewpoint) and became a professional technologist for what was dubbed - ‘a modern day mandala practice.’

I learned a lot during those years as a full-time Monk and Software Engineer, but eventually I wandered off, as my rebel-ronin like mentality would indicate I might.

Since late-2014 I have been:

• Wandering the world (23 countries and counting)
• Creating businesses (1 closed down, 1 work in progress)
• Writing books (2 self-published, 1 in edit phase)
• Working on art, and music (I'll be sharing some here)
• Learning new technologies (the latest being the blockchain)
• Investing (the latest being in cryptocurrencies)
• Consulting/working in the Tech field
• Exploring new cultures (my favorite being Thailand, and Japan... so far)

Now I find myself diving deep into the Crypto world, and living as a digital-nomad, most frequently stationed in Thailand - where life is simple and inexpensive.

On Steem, I hope to find a community of like minded individuals who share my enthusiasm for creativity, disruption and expression - whether it be light or dark, as long as it’s honest and free.

During my time here, I will do my best to share the things I learn, the experiences I have and my viewpoint on the world, all in attempt to further my connection with the Global Citizens of this brave new world!

"Godspeed and may your day be filled with awesomeness!"
