BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY PLATFORMS

Integrated Secure Virtual Spaces (Patented)

BIOGRAPHY

Tim is the Founder of BlockCerts® blockchain, the decentralized cloud platform an emerging cloud framework where every user becomes a stakeholder in the BlockCerts Blockchain Cloud platform.

Tim’s platform model was granted a Patent in the United States in 2015, and in Canada in 2018. With over 2.5 million-person hours of development, that has built the platform, BlockCerts Blockchain International, at the time of this writing has become the world's first operational experiment that now spans over Five Continents and sixteen Countries by using its own fully decentralized technology. The growth of the platform is solely delivered through the Open Structure Organization model – where all current BlockCerts Team Members participate fully with wages and the internal tokens BlockCerts generates to participate in the ownership and upside opportunities as the applications are delivered.

Tim believes that the work of delivering technology, including the growth of software applications could evolve beyond “open source” to “open structure” – a model where participation is possible to enhance anyone’s work and life opportunities. BlockCerts is a combination of the vision behind Tim’s Patent. Over two decades of delivery of technology to thousands of small, medium and large operations and digital work projects across multiple sectors that have processed billions of live transactions and work for numerous organizations and people.

BlockCerts was founded in 2016 as a fully self-funded platform on blockchain. It is the world’s first cloud platform designed to be completely community-driven through the tenants of blockchain with all of the software empowering any individual, entrepreneur or business with the mission of authentication for Global Trust.Truth.Transparency certification protocol to secure technology access, data privacy, self-sovereignty and work for all people.

Tim’s entrepreneurial background spans over five decades. He grew up in the US. He became a young public company CEO and was a whistle-blower against Finova Capital during the Enron era, prior to the protection laws for disclosure by whistle-blowers enacted in the USA. Tim learned, firsthand, the devastating effects of business corruption driven by crony capitalism which drove his first endeavor an emerging multi-national and early technology company out of business. He began his research as a University Professor in the mid-1990’s and developed the model of the “Open Structure Organization” in entrepreneurship, global finance and authenticated operations.
