The Future of Distributed Systems

I want to talk about how you made your way into this sort of modern era of crypto web three blockchain smart contracts stuff. In fact, I probably would want to hear which one of those terms you associate yourself with and what you don't. But before we get to that turn of the wheel, did you work on distributed systems in your time at Sun or Microsoft and anything there you want to touch on? And it seems like these problems are just getting more refined and better and better by the day.
