Introducing Myself - Coding | Social Entrepreneurship | Decentralized Business Models | Other Stuff

Hi Steemit. I'm finally getting around to introducing myself.

I'll keep it brief as I'm here to learn and contribute but if you want to know more you can find me at:

Web: http://jmaddox.com
Twitter: Hive account@joshuabaddox
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuabmaddox/

Quick Points:

1. Father of two
2. Work for Acumen.org
3. I code, market, and design for work and play.—primarily to social enterprise structures that seek to alleviate poverty
4. I believe that when legislation and technology allow, decentralized community-produced business models will be the best of our currently known routes toward poverty and inequality reduction.
5. Other than rambling in a range of quite random articles, tutorials and code projects, I plan to add 'research' and 'documentation' around blockchain as my main contribution to this community.
6. I became interested in Steem in 2016 as I think it's working towards and discovering some interesting ideas towards point 4.
7. I've always wondered what it would've been like to be in Silicon Valley in the late 80's - mid 90's, being part of technologies like Steem is as close as I'll get to that...perhaps it will be better.
8. My name is Joshua here's a photo

Finally, if you want to reach out, I love talking about social entrepreneurship, politics, coding, most things blockchain and am partial to rambling discussions on decentralizing business structures and subsequent governance models.
