About Guest

Michael is the Founder and CEO of Shrimpy. He graduated with a degree in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. During his time at UIUC, Michael founded one of the earliest DOGE mining operations that was run out of his apartment complex. This became his first foray into cryptocurrency. Although Michael eventually lost a portion of his portfolio in the Cryptsy hack,  it set in motion the events that would ultimately lead to the founding of Shrimpy. Before he was known as a founder, Michael was a researcher at NASA, a software engineer at both Samsung and Boeing, and an author. Managing digital assets is too complicated. Michael has made it his mission to bring digital asset exposure to every investor in the United States.
