CYBER REPUBLIC Weekly Update/Issue 15 Interview: Krisha By Jeremy G. Tell us a little about yourself... where did you go to school? What was your major? At the age of 20, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science at STI College Global City. I started as an intern at Cognizant Technology Solutions, a BPO company. I was assigned to a Network and Services Systems office where I learned how IT operates in the real world. I also took a one-year vocational course for Computer Systems Servicing NC II at TESDA. I often accepted remote jobs online. I was a researcher for a US-based cryptocurrency investor. He introduced me to blockchain and cryptocurrencies. He was the reason why I have my position right now in Elastos. What I did then was look over the coins on coinmarketcap.com for some tokens with good forward prospects. Among these was Elastos. I recommended Elastos to my employer and he followed my recommendation. I met the lead evangelist of Elastos, Clarence, at a meetup in San Francisco. Elastos had been looking for an organizer to manage a meetup in Manila and my previous employer suggested me to Clarence. When the event was first posted on meetup.com, Mr.Alex Timbol was among the first to RSVP, so I messaged him and asked if he could help me out. I am a Community Organizer and representative of Elastos here in the Philippines where my persona is the “Elastos Princess”. This persona helps to market blockchain to colleges and other young developers. I'm helped by my Mom's food and catering business, and by a veteran sales and marketing professional who advises me and helps out in Elastos' Philippines activities. Alex has years of experience in corporate communications for a food and beverage company, and decades of experience in Institutional Stockbroking around Southeast Asia. He has worked in social entrepreneurship, community organizing, events management, PR crisis management, and disaster response. He is based in Metro Manila, and I am in Central Luzon, around 120km apart, so he can quickly attend to requirements in the National Capital while I am near enough to make a day trip if necessary. But, Central Luzon, where I am, is among the regional //16
software and blockchain development supercenters due to the Clark and Subic Freeports. I recently started working in Network Security Support at a Company in Central Luzon. What are your hobbies? Any special activities you like to do with friends and family? Whenever I have free time, I watch American TV or Asian anime series. My family and I go to the beach and attend concerts together. We're a very close family. My mom has a food service business, Raemily's, and sometimes I help out, gaining valuable practical experience, just as Jeff Bezos said he worked at McDonald's in his teens. Raemily's handled catering and logistics during the October 13 event, and I can always rely on my Mom and her crew for support. You set up an Elastos meetup in the Philippines, how did it go? On October 9, 2018, Clarence went to Manila for two things: First, Elastos purchased a booth at Blockchain Fair Asia on October 10- 11, 2018. I worked with Clarence to set up the booth and meet the other local and foreign blockchain personalities, including the leadership at NEM Philippines, with whom we now have a cooperative arrangement. On October 13, 2018, I organized the first ever meetup of Elastos in the Philippines. Clarence Liu was the speaker and it was his first time to visit the Philippines.The meetup lasted for 4 hours.The number of attendees exceeded 100. It set benchmarks in the local Blockchain industry in terms of attendance, relevance of audience, and number of newbies to blockchain. We had over 40 tech students from two campuses Cavite State University, the largest University system in Southern Luzon. Other blockchains and crypto events had as little as 10 attendees, and there were few with more than fifty attendees--usually the same regular enthusiasts. With Elastos, we wanted to ensure that we had more and that we would break records, so we reached out to IT and student groups via their social media pages, and I personally I invited them with persistent PMs and emails.As a result, we had over a hundred attendees from different communities. Even Star Trek Philippines teleported over to learn about the Internet of the Future. In the real world, STP members are professionals in tech and content creation. You can watch the event video on youtube here: https://youtu.be/QiuKCmHHJtM Are there going to be any future meetups? We have been continually participating in 3-5 tech events per month that may be roughly categorized into into three categories: Networking events, brand presence, and educational events. It is a continuous campaign. Despite limited resources, Elastos is probably amongst the top five most well known blockchain developments in the Philippines, along with the well-funded NEM, corporate-backed EOS, app wallet enabler Stellar, and universally known Ethereum. For many of the communities we are reaching out to, we are the first to present blockchain in general, and Elastos in particular. Notable networking events we've attended have been “Women in Blockchain”, with whom I am working with to establish a Central Luzon chapter with other female blockchain developers based in Pampanga, my home province, and nearby Zambales, Bataan, and Nueva Ecija; PADCDI (Philippine Association of Distributed Computing Developers, Inc.) annual meeting, which includes key personalities from the blockchain focussed CEZA (Cagayan //17

Interview: Krisha<br />
By Jeremy G.<br />
Tell us a little about yourself... where did you go to<br />

At the age of 20, I graduated with a Bachelor’s of<br />

City. I started as an intern at Cognizant Technology<br />
Solutions, a BPO company. I was assigned to a<br />

I often accepted remote jobs online. I was a<br />
researcher for a US-based cryptocurrency investor.<br />

these was Elastos.<br />
I recommended Elastos to my employer and he<br />
