Hi Everyone!

My name is [Rishabh](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rishabh-parekh/), and I am a senior at UC Berkeley, studying Political Economics and Data Science, with a concentration in Computational Natural Language Processing (Digital Humanities).

This August, I decided to take a gap semester, to pursue two goals:

1.  Understand how a rapidly growing startup scales, which I aimed to do with my work at [Pogo](https://www.earnwithpogo.com/).
    
2.  Begin a journey of self-educating myself through the ever-changing worlds of crypto and web3.
    

Starting now, I plan to publish content, interviews, repos, and projects with a focus on ramping on crypto-curious students and enthusiasts.

My main inspiration for doing this is to document/re-inform my own learnings.

Additionally, many of my friends have been asking me questions about the crypto/web3 space, so by making this open-source, I am able to share my learnings and help them out.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/rishabhparekh_).
