Welcome Charlie Lee (creator of Litecoin) to the team!

We’re excited to announce Charlie Lee has joined the Coinbase team!

Charlie was previously an engineer at Google working on Google Play Games, Chrome OS, and YouTube.  Charlie is probably best known as the creator of Litecoin, the most popular Bitcoin derivative.  He layers on more mental horsepower here at Coinbase with his BS and Masters in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT.

If you use Google Authenticator to secure your Coinbase account or Authy’s voice support feature to verify your phone number, then you’ve already benefitted from some of Charlie’s early work!

...just about spat my coke all over my litecoin rig when I saw this. ;D
