... and soon to be collabolators

Photo from before the three-month sprint to get the project going. So farm this has been a single-person operation by:

Tomasz Kolinko.

I spend most of my time in Warsaw, building cool things, mentoring startups and so on. A few times a year I visit Berlin and San Francisco - feel free to chat me up if you're from one of these places.

I've also built a few other projects in the past:

- AppCodes - App Store SEO tool

- Orisi - a possibly first whitepaper about decentralised oracles

- Eveem.org - a smart contract decompiler.

- Freespace Warsaw - a short lived climate tech venture builder, now an awesome mancave.

You can contact me via e-mail: kolinko@gmail.com,
and find me on Twitter/X: @kolinko.
