Michael Yahkind is the owner of Technical Paradigm, tech contributor for Shift_TheParadigm, a speaker at various tech conferences including Microsoft Ignite Chicago and TCnewTech. Technical Paradigm was recently featured on Startup Recruiter and Medium as the “recruiting company you should know.” Mike got involved with Fintech as a recruiter, investor, and enthusiast in 2015. At the time, he was the Director of IT Talent for a large staffing firm in Chicago, and he observed fintech companies sprout up left and right. The following year, Michael spearheaded a managed staffing project responsible for the first institutional trade transaction via blockchain. The relationships he formed with talent in blockchain, machine learning, and predictive analytics helped him launch Technical Paradigm. Michael’s firm is currently growing faster than ever, thanks to the recent surge in the NFT space. Once again, Technical Paradigm is branding themselves as pioneers in the blockchain community. Additionally, Michael is an NPA partner, overseeing the fintech group and has placed over 1 million dollars worth of candidates within the program.
