Matej Zrimšek – Co-founder and CTO of Akshun (The Unseen Agency)

Called one of the tech-hottest CTOs in Web3 by his co-founders, Matej Zrimšek, certainly has the
receipts. Holding a Bachelors in Computer Science, he went on to earn a double
Masters in Computer Science and Mathematics.

“I also love algorithms and cryptography, so while my early career was in Life Sciences and included
robotics programming and dabbling with 3D games and AI, it was no surprise that
I soon migrated over to crypto and blockchain, first working with an arbitrage
platform trading between different crypto exchanges and leveraging AI.”

Next stop was Bitstamp Cryptocurrency Exchange, which is the longest standing crypto exchange in
existence. Zrimšek believes it also to be the most regulated exchange. As a
Banking Technical Lead he worked with departments from across many aspects of
the exchange from payments, to accounting, to treasury and even support.

At this stage, while Zrimšek knew he was working in the right sector, he also knew he wanted to be a founder
and not just an employee. He wanted to put his drive and enthusiasm into a
project of his own making and enjoy the full rewards of his efforts.
