He is currently vice-chair of the InterWork Framework Working Group at the Global Blockchain Business Council, has previously served on the Baseline Protocol Technical Steering Committee and was involved in the Hyperledger Climate Accounting Special Interest Group. He originally stumbled upon blockchain in 2016 when he started learning about Ethereum, first by building a mining rig, then by authoring the blockchain integration library Web3j, which provides the glue for business applications and Android phones to work with the Ethereum blockchain. The library is nearly five years old and has been downloaded over 1 million times, thanks to usage by companies like J.P. Morgan, Opera and Samsung. Outside work, when he’s not hanging out with his wife and kids, Conor keeps active through a combination of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, running, surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. He also loves sci-fi, fantasy and playing the drums. He can be found on LinkedIn and Twitter (@conorsvensson).
