Adventures in Crypto is a weekly series focusing on my journey as a Zcash Foundation operations apprentice. Zcash Foundation is a 501(c) 3 non-profit whose mission is to build a truly private financial payment infrastructure for public use, and they support Zcash and the surrounding cryptocurrency community with research grants.

What I’m Learning:
One cool thing I learned at work last week:
I learned the process of how to run payroll and the procedures associated with it. Before payroll is finalized, Zcash Foundation requires signed approval from the executive director and operations director. This prevents mistakes from happening.
One cool thing I learned outside of work last week:
Nodes are older technology than Bitcoin.
What I’m Creating:
One example of how I created value at work last week:
I’m now in charge of processing reimbursements for our employees.
What project I’m currently working on at my BP:
Right now I’m back in planning the company’s annual retreat and this project is almost entirely my responsibility.
What I’m doing to become a better version of myself overall:
I’m currently learning about Excel through Coursera and continuing learning the basics of Bitcoin, Zcash, and the blockchain. Learning these things will help bring me up to speed with my coworkers and help facilitate discussions with common interests.
