Hello,

My name is Rex, and I have spent the last 15 years as a developer evangelist, ecosystem manager and software engineer (self taught) building global ecosystems at some of the world's largest silicon enterprises. Having worked at Intel, Arm and NVIDIA - I have had extensive experience learning about how to organize, curate, motivate and mobilize thousands of partners and individual developers to achieve common objectives.

In this Medium, I plan to cover the following areas:

Web3 Developer Platforms, Technologies and Infrastructure. The Cosmos Ecosystem, tools and platforms. Explain interesting aspects of Web3 to a broader audience and more.

Web3 & ReFi Summit

In late 2021, I became deeply interested in the topic of Web3 and began learning everything I could about the emerging world of decentralized web services and computing. This ultimately lead to me resigning from NVIDIA (where I organized the Jetson Software Ecosystem and Cloud-Native software ecosystem for EGX) to join Saga, where I work on developer marketing for Web3 infrastructure and tools.

My work ultimately lead me to organize the very first ReFi Summit (at the intersection of Web3 and Climate) in Seattle. You can view talks and videos recorded at ReFi Summit 2022 here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCswdPQWMh7SuE0EqVjJs87w

Orchards Not Apples

Please find my free book "Orchard Not Apples," here. In Orchards Not Apples, I discuss the nature of ecosystem management and why every organization, developer and startup need to consider the value of intangible relationship networks to accelerate their growth, adoption and success: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rexstjohn/overlay/1635494656153/single-media-viewer/ 

The Machine Economy

Having worked in the silicon industry focused on IoT, Edge Computing and Edge AI ecosystems, I have extensive understanding of the forces which shape these markets from a technical perspective. Given my enthusiasm for Web3, I have spent significant energy organizing a set of theories about the future of IoT.
