Listen Later

Mark Anders has a background in mechanical engineering and economics, and had a fascinating journey into the world of blockchain technology.

Mark's interest in blockchain and cryptocurrency began heavily in 2021 when he discovered DeFi. He was initially skeptical of the speculative nature of cryptocurrencies but became more interested as he learned about the potential applications in machine-to-machine payments and DeFi. He began experimenting with the Binance Smart Chain and the decentralized exchange PancakeSwap.
By the end of 2021, Mark decided to make a career shift and immerse himself in the blockchain industry. He applied to the Blockchain Center at Frankfurt School, where he began working in June 2022. Currently, Mark is involved in two main projects at the blockchain center: NFT Talents program and Web3Talents. The NFTs Talents program is an online mentoring program that educates students in the NFT space.
