Joey started in Blockchain during his college years in DUKE university, he was the co-president of the DUKE Blockchain lab
Joey started as a neuro science major at DUKE and then switched to computer science. He was interested in blockchain technology and began learning all he could while in school which led him to being a research assistant in the blockchain lab. He graduated in 2019 with a CS degree and went to work for “Okta Inc” which was working on helping businesses integrate and manage digital identity.
First project Joey worked on was ‘Empty Set Dollar”
Joey’s first project “empty set dollar” was an algorithmic stable coin, the project rebranded to “Empty Set” after the price collapsed and Joey left the project team. This led Joey to go and create FEI where he applied the knowledge and lessons learned from the Empty Set Dollar project.
Joey started FEI and TRIBE DAO which recently merged with Rari Capital (the largest merger in DAO history). (the merger was covered by Bankless HQ and Joey has been on the HQ podcast with the Rari founder (link in the references).
