In this episode of Tech Intersect, I welcome Matt West. Matt is a scientist by training and background and the first crypto developer to run for Congress. For the last seven years, he has worked as a development engineer at Intel and designs the laser-based manufacturing processes used to build the latest chips powering our computers, cars, and homes. So he’s worked at the leading edge of technology for quite some time. Now he wants to take his deep expertise in science and head to Washington DC to address and solve some of the 21st century’s most pressing concerns.

Matt is also the first congressional candidate with cryptocurrency development experience in decentralized finance (aka DeFi). He has coded strategies for yearn.finance and worked with other groups such as PoolTogether (a crypto-powered savings protocol based on Premium Bonds). Matt believes DeFi has the power to create a financial system that works for everyone, but only if people who understand it help to craft legislation that calibrates regulation with innovation.
