Guest Bio:

Dr. Jesse "Aggroed" Reich, CEO at Splinterlands, was a chemistry professor before launching a successful career in the educational software industry. A lifelong gamer, Aggroed both played games and created them as a hobby. In 2016, he started using the blockchain-based blogging platform steemit.com to have an immutable place to free write on topics he wanted to investigate.

Together with Matt Rosen, they created and cofounded the Splinterlands game in 2018 which is now one of the largest Dapps in the world.
