Prior to building Squid, Fig was initially drawn to a career in medicine due to its intricate systems and the chance to positively impact lives, but he quickly realized that its stringent oversight dampened his innate creative spirit. Seeking an avenue to channel his artistic and technical inclinations, he ventured into music and coding. In the world of crypto, Fig found a harmonious blend of intricate systems, boundless creativity, and an environment that valued merit and innovation. The decentralized ethos of the blockchain space appealed to his sensibilities, guiding him to the forefront of the industry.
