AMBASSADORS

Amanda first heard about Nexus while researching various blockchain technologies during college. It gained her attention, and she has followed the progress of the project since early 2019. Amanda graduated in 2020 with a Bachelors in Computer Science and shortly after was introduced to the Nexus team. As an Ambassador, she maintains the Nexus website, contributes to social media promotion, and provides support for developers.

April has been actively involved in the Nexus community since 2017. True to the name of Nexus, it was the connections of the many that brought her to the community and she became a contributor to support its vision, values and innovations. Her interests in economics, technology, investments and compliance provided meaningful contributions to co-writing content. April’s experience and constant research helped define terminology, provide context and varying perspectives which support Nexus’ solutions.

Having completed formal education in Electrical Engineering was drawn towards Bitcoin in early 2017. Liked the concept and ethos, took a deep dive which increased awareness about money and economics and the threat of emerging technologies whose convergence is pushing us further into the fully centralised digital realm. I am a staunch believer that blockchain will be the foundation of our digital future and the decisions we make today will shape our future. Having delved into blockchain projects to find the one which has the vision and ideology of Sathoshi, and also decentralize and democratize money, economics, internet, emerging technologies to give people back the power, led me to Nexus and there has been no looking back. Using this opportunity to spread Nexus and its innovative technology to the masses.

My background is in education and leadership development, and I’m thrilled to be able to share my experiences to support the growth of our Nexus community. I take great pride in the opportunity to work with such talented, caring, & compassionate individuals dedicated to building the foundation of a decentralized future. I remember when I was first inspired by the thought of a crypto revolution. To this day, I truly believe that blockchain technology will prove to be the key to unlocking trust in politics, simplicity in transactions, & financial independence throughout the world. The Nexus team, tech, and community are working to make this a reality, and that’s why I’m here. Sigchains open the door to mainstream adoption. The TAO framework provides ease of use & on chain scaling. But more importantly, the Nexus vision revolves around building trust, connectivity, and promoting responsible values to create the world we deserve.

Kjetil works in the education sector where he teaches science and mathematics. He loves working with computers and is currently working on a specialization in the use of ICT in learning. Kjetil has always had a great interest in technology, development and the future and is a big sci-fi fan. The discovery of Bitcoin and blockchain technology a few years ago ignited a spark that grew into a passionate interest in decentralized technologies. Kjetil envisions a complete set of technologies and services for computer and internet users based on blockchain. For real decentralization, these solutions must take place on-chain without the involvement of third-party actors. He found this vision in Nexus and has followed the project ever since. Kjetil is an active community member who has hung around in various Nexus chat rooms for several years and when he got the chance to become more involved in the project, he did not hesitate.

The impact that new technologies such as a truly decentralized blockchain could have on existing systems, is what fascinates me the most. I discovered Nexus in 2017, and was especially attracted by the prospect of a truly decentralized internet. The awesome Nexus team and their ‘no comprises’ approach - to do it the right way, instead of going the easy and wrong route, is why I started to help and support Nexus' Vision. I am active in all community channels for all questions, and my technical background helps me support the community with wallet problems. Due to my work in power engineering and energy economics, I am particularly interested in the impact of blockchain on the wholesale markets, energy trading, and the possibility of shared renewable assets.
