Guillaume’s blog
Thoughts on the future of money
About
I design software and live in San Francisco, CA. My professional interests are in integration technologies applied the financial domain.
In my spare time, I research the future of money: how technology is changing not just the way we earn, manage and use our money, but how it is changing money itself and with it, our communities and society.
