Bob has been working at the heart of the Ethereum ecosystem since mid 2015.   His work on Ethereum started independently – adding ARM Linux cross-builds for the cpp-ethereum client to bring Ethereum to mobile and wearable Linux.   That community involvement led to a full-time role at the Ethereum Foundation and then a move to ConsenSys and a pivotal role in the creation of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.   He served as Vice-Chair on the EEA Technical Steering Committee. Bob has also been engaged with Hyperledger since 2016 and stood for election to the Hyperledger TSC in August 2018.
