Summary

Every business is built on a purpose, which is solving a problem and I want to be involve in a field and a project that is solving a critical problem that I think is important for the future in the sense that helps to build a better world. I found that DEFI ecosystem is meeting this criteria. There are many other businesses and jobs that are suited for this condition but I thought that DEFI is the best sphere that is match my educational background. There are many implementation challenges that DEFI faces and by becoming a researcher, I want to understand this challenges deeply and help the community to overcome this obstacles.
