Short personal pitch

I've been working with DLT for a while now. Through our company, I've come to engage with hundreds of companies and developers building in almost any industry out there. We are focused every day on making the technology more accessible, on that space we believe our success has been by improving the developer experience (as an example Convector inside of Hyperledger Labs on boards hundreds of developers a month into the technology). I believe that I can provide help in guiding and improving the overall developer experience to make the technology mainstream and accessible to more companies.
