Pat Sissons

Based out of Vancouver, Canada. I have been working with Shopify for 4 years now and building software for about 15 years. I started out at Shopify more heavily in the front end and moved to the blockchain team about 6 months ago where these days I am much less end-specific. I’ve been in the crypto scene for a very long time, introduced with Bitcoin back in 2011 with some fun and (sadly) unprofitable mining adventures. I’ve followed the scene closely since then waiting for my opportunity to work within it professionally. My first attempt came a couple years ago building out front end infrastructure to expose the now defunct Libra/Diem project with a GraphQL schema. These days I spend my time building a new protocol that will support the future of tokengating called the Standard Gate Protocol.
