Hello and welcome to The AwesomeAlgo podcast!

Today's guest is Zeph Grunschlag, a Senior Software Engineer from Algorand with more than 20 years of experience in the industry and impressive academic background in Math and CS.

This episode covers a variety of different topics such as:

1. A take on Zeph's biography and his journey to Algorand coming from a very interesting background in academia doing his Ph.D. in Math at the University of Berkeley.

2. An overview of TEAL. In contrast with episode one, this time there is more in-depth coverage of technical specifics of that language described thoroughly by Zeph.

3. Graviton. We dive into topics starting from motivation for creating this project, followed by the origins of the name, an overview of main features, and, of course, contribution guidelines and the future roadmap for the project.

4. Advice for aspiring software engineers who want to try out blockchain development on Algorand.
