Some Fascinating Stats on Applications for the REMME 2018 Pilot Program

The REMME pilot program offers enterprises a chance to register their interest in trialling our passwordless authentication protocol. We’ve been taking submissions from businesses for months and soon will finalize 10 entrants to put the REMME protocol to the test. We’re very excited to be nearing the point where we can start rolling REMME out, and we’ve been blown away by the level of interest in the pilot program.
Once the pilot gets into gear, successful applicants will replace their existing authentication system with REMME’s distributed model that reduces attack vectors and eliminates the weaknesses associated with password-based logins. In this update, we’d like to share some details with you about how the pilot program is progressing, and specifically the volume of applications we’ve fielded to date. https://medium.com/remme/some-fascinating-stats-on-applications-for-the-remme-2018-pilot-program-80f9d2b55ccc

Meet The Team — Jeff Gan, Software Engineer
https://blog.tenx.tech/meet-the-team-jeff-gan-software-engineer-ed0d202480cc

Continuing from our first post in this hope-to-be series, we reached out to other members of TenX to see who would like to write a little about themselves for another round— all of these ‘interviews’ are optional, after all!

From the software side, Jeff was more than happy to provide a little bit of background about himself and his role here at TenX — we hope this provides better insight into our Software team:

Jeff is a Software Engineer, who has been a part of TenX since October 2017 and currently the lead mobile app developer for both Android and iOS.

What was your profession prior to TenX, and how did you fall into crypto?

I have always been focused more on mobile development ever since I became a Software Engineer. At the earlier stage of my career though, I had dealt with low-level programming like embedded systems, Linux and Mac OS kernels.

How did you learn about TenX and join us as Software Engineer?

I attend meet ups or workshops once in a while after work & during weekends. One of the meet ups I had signed up for was about blockchain and that was where I got to know Paul through Mike Ferrer the community manager, who is a friend of mine.

I already had a small idea of what blockchain is, and invested a little in BTC and ETH by that time so I felt amazed at what TenX can possibly do if they really succeed with their ambitious plans — but I definitely did not see myself working with them that time as first, I didn’t know they were hiring and second, I could not imagine myself working in an office situated inside someones house!

It was at least a month after the ICO when I heard about them looking for a mobile developer and I did not hesitate to send my application. It was not completely smooth-sailing as they were receiving tons of applicants and they treat everyone’s submission equally. But once they decide you’re in, they want you in, as in, right now! So after getting a confirmation message through Slack on a Saturday afternoon, I went straight to their house the next day and signed the contract, it’s been non-stop action from then on.

How do you see TenX making cryptocurrencies spendable?

It’s like how the computer was made personal, or how Internet access was made wireless; it has big potential to change the way people live and earn/spend their currencies

As a Software Engineer, what is a typical day like for you?

We follow the standard application development life-cycle. It usually starts from planning and analysis, whether it is a bug or a feature request, this step involves things like task prioritisation, requirements collection, estimation of task completion time etc.

After planning, that is when I start the development process, based on the design flow if it involves that. Once the app is ready for testing, it would be forwarded the QA team then to a closed alpha testing stage where the apps are released with a larger set of users, then we release to even more users in the open beta testing stage. If it looks good then we release it to public; if not, then the cycle restarts back to development stage.

Though the question is about a typical day, the whole life-cycle definitely does not finish within a day. So to answer the question more directly, a typical day for me would be anywhere within that cycle along with our daily stand-up, meetings, etc.

Where do you personally see TenX in 2 years time?

I see TenX still in Singapore, along with more branches in other parts of the world as well. Kidding aside, I would simply say, I see TenX still sticking to their culture and vision.

Aside from work, what keeps you busy and what do you enjoy doing?

I love to learn new stuff so I take online courses every now and then. On the other hand, I also love sports… a lot. In fact, I join marathon and triathlon events regularly, compete in billiards competitions whenever I get the chance to train.

Thanks for spending some time to answer these questions Jeff, always great to hear of other peoples experiences!

When Will Your Business Employ Drones?
https://medium.com/@deepaerodrones/when-will-your-business-employ-drones-805e2c89ec1e



Amazon Prime Air and Google’s Project Wing are looking forward to make drone delivery a reality. Despite all the rules, regulations and restrictions drone start-ups are multiplying in numbers. Well, U.K. is a step ahead of the U.S. in drone regulation. On the other hand, Amazon is also looking forward to roll out drone delivery in Great Britain.

Furthermore, airlines and oil rigs use drones in inspecting the hard equipments. FAA has issued certain rules to govern the use of drones. The drone innovation is already pushing the envelope well beyond the operations envisioned in the FAA rules.

Sooner or later, drones could become the secret weapon that gives local businesses a chance to compete against the speedy delivery of online giants like Amazon and Walmart.
