Hi! I am Humility Wong, born and educated in Hong Kong, China. I am very excited to be an integral part of the Finnovant team and love to try new things and make a difference in the world. I have a restless heart, and back in the day, during my time at University, I worked in a theme park as a part-time dish washer. I found while working at the theme park that all the washers were too tired working in the fixed modes of their positions and the work efficiency was low. Soon I imagined a new way of washing the dishes, and the workload related to this effort was reduced over 33%. The theme park asked me to stay on after my graduation to be a manager and to continue the improvements, although my desire was to explore and chase my dreams.

Tyler has been involved in the crypto space since he was first told about Bitcoin in 2014, but has truly immersed himself in all the aspects of it within the past 5 years. He explored different tokens and products before finding his place in the world of Non-Fungible Tokens. Infatuated with the endless possibilities of real-life use cases and the importance of verified ownership of assets, he aimed to learn as much as he could.

In 2021, he began working with DogeRun, a Doge NFT racing game that has now evolved into the Ethos Metaverse. A hyper-realistic digital space world mirroring our own galaxy. Creating a world for builders to create and for creatives to thrive.

Throughout Tyler’s time in the NFT space, he learned how valuable security is. With the rise of different phishing scams, Discord hacks, and social engineering, he knew there had to be a better process through the blockchain to verify who you were interacting with, and being at the forefront of that movement has become very important to him.

Nicholas began his enthusiasm with cryptocurrency early on with investment interest in Bitcoin in 2014. He’s been involved with multiple cryptocurrency investment projects on the Ethereum and Avalanche networks since, all the while consistently pushing to expand his knowledge of the space. He has also been in multiple business development and leadership roles throughout his career. He is an avid believer in the necessity for biometric security and excited to be working hand in hand with a team of talented and knowledgeable veterans at Finnovant, collectively gearing up for the infinite possibilities of where biometric applications can lead.
