About Douglas Bakkum

https://shiftcrypto.ch/
I am a hardware, software, and wetware hacker with a diverse background. More recently, I invented the BitBox cryptocurrency hardware wallet and then co-founded Shift Crypto to help bring it and other products to the public. Previously, I worked as a group leader in neuroengineering at ETH Zürich, but also have experience spanning mechanical engineering (M.Sc. & B.Sc.), AI, computer science, robotics and bioart. On the latter, the collaborative Meart and CellF projects have been exhibited around the world and received numerous prizes.
