Travin Keith

Travin Keith, CTO of Consortio Group, is a former digital nomad who has lived in 8 countries across 4 continents. Since shifting from a primarily digital marketing background in 2016, he has worked in the cryptocurrency space, as a volunteer, such as with the Bitcoin Markets community, a Board Member, with the Nxt Foundation, an advisor and consultant for a wide range of projects, as well as an entrepreneur with his ventures Agavon, Altrean (both now defunct), and Stokr, of which he is a current Advising Co-Founder, to name just a few. He has also contributed significantly to open source projects in and out of the cryptocurrency space, especially with Hyperledger, of which he co-authored the white paper. He has frequently spoken at events ranging from meetups to large conferences across the world, such as the Open Source Leadership Summit in 2018, hosted by the Linux Foundation, mainly around the areas of cryptocurrency and distributed ledger technology. During his time as a digital nomad, of which he in some ways still is, he has encountered numerous issues with regards to both relocating and basic travel, personally through his own experiences and 2nd hand through the experiences of many others he encountered. At HCPP 19, he looks forward to discussing these as well as reporting on his research to highlight the dehumanizing issues regarding the current immigration systems around the world.
