About The Instructor
Gurinder Bhangoo has been heavily involved in Cryptocurrencies since he mined his first Bitcoin transaction in 2013. Currently, he is the Director of Blockchain Technology for Fair Trade – who have developed a Ride-sharing app that utilizes a forked Ethereum Blockchain. His first Blockchain presentation was held at the Sunnyvale Plug & Play Tech Center back in 2014. Currently, Gurinder is teaching Ethereum Smart Contracts on the road (with Blockchain Innovation Lab) for Developers, Managers, & Enterprises.
