DISCLAIMER: Crispin Courtenay's latest AI gerbil has written my profile bio. Let's see how it goes.

Richard Piacentini (1) is a highly respected industry thought leader (2) and international (3) Software Development and Blockchain speaker. 

(1) Yep, that's me! That's a good start!
(2) The AI mistakenly identified my friend Keir Finlow-Bates as me, even though I didn't say anything.
(3) If you're interested, I live in Thailand as a French national, hence the "international" part.

With over 25 years of experience (4) as an extreme (5) software engineer and architect, Richard has a proven track record of delivering innovative and highly scalable solutions for his clients. 

(4) & (5) Let's not focus on that too much.

He has also coordinated multiple international conferences (6) focused on the Ruby programming language, cementing his status as a leading voice in the industry. 

(6) It started from 2006 to 2012, at first with 20 people meeting in a pizzeria restaurant; the significance of this now is questionable.

Richard is the CEO and co-founder of Sharkaroo (7), a Software Development firm with operations in Paris, Bangkok, and San Diego. 

(7) Sharkaroo? Brilliant! Crispin found the name, and I wish it was me; he was (moderately) drunk, however.

He is both a Blockchain Solutions Architect and a Senior Software Development Architect, which has helped him become a successful tech entrepreneur and investor with over 25 years of leading development teams in five different countries. (8) 

(8) This sentence has 36 words and only one comma! 

An expert on blockchain technology, smart contracts, distributed ledger frameworks, digital assets, securities tokenization, software architecture, and software development, Richard brings high-level experience working with government, banking, media, and start-up partners. (9)

(9) Who gave you that list?

 In addition, Richard has worked closely with Crispin Courtenay (10) on numerous projects over the past five years, including developing cutting-edge blockchain solutions.

(10) Did you ask the AI to add your name to my profile?

In January 2022, Richard teamed up with Keir Finlow-Bates to engineer the largest NFT airdrop ever on the Ethereum mainnet. They distributed 1.5 quindecillion, which is 1.5 followed by 48 zeros, unique virtual land tokens, one for each Ethereum address that has existed, exists, or will exist in the future. (11)

(11) Still one of my best moments ever!

That began their experimental metaverse project, "The Orthoverse is Doomed!". (12)

(12) In the end, we all are, memento mori! 

Richard Piacentini

Throughout my career, my goals have been to develop and improve the global financial services industry commercially and operationally while making it intuitively accessible.

Combining an engineering background with practical global operational industry experience and academic research, I have been able to affect innovative change collaboratively.

I am focused on reducing risks and costs while improving the revenue opportunities, quality, accessibility and speed of innovation within the transactional industries via a differentiating approach to Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which I devised and helped design. https://L4SCorp.com from an understanding of process engineering and control, encryption techniques and lay-interest in meta-mathematics.

Working with a great team of investors, advisors, managers and technology experts, we have refined the solution and have funded its development and commercial launch. We are also providing due diligence and advisory consulting engagements in the DLT space as well as product and process design and implementation in general. 

With my broad experience across many businesses and functions in the industry and my research, I have gained a great appreciation for both the potential and limitations of complex, non-linear, non-deterministic interdependent systems.

My accomplishments include:
- re-engineering global operations;
- establishing and launching global service centers;
- remediating multi-billion-dollar troublesome business and operational mergers;
- designing innovative financing and risk management tools;
- simplifying global cross-product and market execution capabilities;
- inventing a DLT solution that meets the requirements for the financial services and other transactional industries.

I am an entrepreneur, financial industry consultant, engineer and creative licensing company owner.

Other creative output: marketing videos; a strategy board game; instrumental music composition, production and publishing; writing and cartoons.
