Nigel Smart is from Britain, but currently lives in Belgium. He has a PhD in mathematics, but headed into the world of cryptography early on. He has started a few companies in the past, both of which have successfully exited, one to Coinbase. But outside of technology, he loves to cycle and attend concerts. When asked about food, he said he loves all food - as long as it doesn't include eggplant.
Very early on, Nigel got involved with one of his current ventures. As an advisor, he stated to spend more and more time with the company, supporting it through its many iterations in building next level encryption for application builders - and doing so through open source.
