Dennis Schouten is from the Netherlands. He studied information and communication technology (ICT) in HR at university of Rotterdam, and subsequently held management roles which involved the implementation of various technologies. He started a company in 2011 to better handle the indexing of resumes, and got into blockchain from there. He found IOTA in Spring of 2017.

This interview also goes out to all the aspiring IOTA developers who are looking for inspiration in starting your own project on IOTA. Dennis and the team epitomize the story of persistence over everything, while they continue to disrupt in a variety of industries. Without further ado, let’s begin:
