About Paul
Paul is a proud Electrical Engineering and Computer Science graduate of UC Berkeley with a wide range of technical skills from low-level 3D graphics systems engineering to development of custom web CMS systems, back before people knew what a CMS was.

He held a lead engineering position with Nvidia and significantly contributed to the design of highly cross platform software architecture enabling code-reuse across multiple ASIC generations and across multiple operating systems. A stickler for proper architecture, he insists on projects being designed from the ground up for maintainability and scalability.

Most recently he applied his organizational skills to owning and operated several non-technical small businesses throughout California. There he implemented solutions to bridge the intersection between people, business, and technology and learned how incredibly important a fluid user experience is to the acceptance, adoption, and functionality of technology.

In his return back to tech in 2013, he is combining the wide range of life experiences and career paths to drive a company that bridges the complex technology of Bitcoin with the simplicity and function needed by the mass consumer and business owner. Being a strong advocate of the positive potential of Bitcoin, he also organizes regular Bitcoin meetup groups and presentations to help educate the general public.

When not converting people to Bitcoin you’ll likely find him climbing a rock in Joshua Tree or at a local climbing gym.

About Jan
Jan had his first touchpoints with Bitcoin in early 2017, when he was working as an Analyst for a boutique Melbourne-based venture capital firm. One of this firm's investments was local Bitcoin exchange bitcoin.com.au.

After doing some project work for this exchange and discovering his passion for digital currencies, Jan started working full-time with the exchange mid-2017 and has since been part of an incredible journey through bull- and bear markets, regulation and global expansion.

Banxa was established as a new B2B brand of the bitcoin.com.au group in 2017, offering fiat-to-crypto services to global wallets and exchanges. Jan is today managing the B2B division of the business, ensuring more digital currency enthusiasts globally get easy access to Bitcoin & co.
