I knew John-Alan was an accomplished self taught computer programmer who was also a nationally ranked archer with a lot of talent for doing projects beyond his peers, but I didn't know he was a hacker through high school. John-Alan shares his journey through high school and university in Part 1 of this 3 part series. Later in the series he'll talk about cryptomining and crytpocurrencies as one of the earliest Doge miners and how he started up his companies.
