just found out that Alan Tam's son, Tam Hiu-fung, has been quietly building stuff in the crypto space. the guy is 75 now and apparently working as a senior software engineer at a Web3 startup, dealing with digital wallets and cryptographic protocols. pretty cool that he's doing serious tech work at that age.

what's wild is that Tam Hiu-fung actually led the development of CryptoKitties back in the day when he was at Axiom Zen, a Canadian game company. that was literally the first NFT game on Ethereum, and when it dropped, it was eating up like 16% of the entire network's transaction traffic. kind of insane when you think about how big that was for the time.

so basically Alan Tam's son went from creating one of the earliest blockchain-based games to now working on core Web3 infrastructure. not the typical career path you'd expect, but the crypto space has always attracted interesting people. wonder what he's working on now at the startup.
