Ethereum/VeChain Supply Chain By Brendan Laiben from OCI Blockchain -an ethereum tech app for (business) supply chain track. This will be a talk about a blockchain application. It will NOT be about a cryptocurrency (ex, Bitcoin, Ethereum,...) It WILL be about utilizing the blockchain technology to do a "trusted" application in business. Brendan Laiben, of Object Computing Inc. (OCI), will present an implementation of a supply chain on the Ethereum blockchain where users can create products that are tracked from production to final sale. The demonstration will consist of: creating fungible tokens that represent products, packaging those tokens into a non-fungible token that represents a shipment, transparently tracking that shipment as it changes hands, and finally decomposing that shipment back into its constituent tokens when it is transferred to the end user. The audience will learn: how a decentralized application is structured, how trust-less interactions are performed, and how trust-less systems can actually help generate consumer trust. BIO: Brendan is a Blockchain Software Engineer at Object Computing Inc. He has bachelors degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Missouri S&T. His history with blockchain goes back to 2011, when he was first introduced to Bitcoin. In 2015, Brendan's work with a Bitcoin miner hosting company connected him with Ethereum prior to its public launch. After working at Boeing on the F/A-18 and F-15 programs for a short time, Brendan started an Ethereum development and consulting business and began learning to code. A couple years and multiple projects later, he joined OCI as a permanent member of their team. Bio as of 15 June 2020.
