Meaning that I had direct communication with Lightning Labs and formulated strategies to let more users use this product, offered new solutions to business clients so they could use the exchange as a payment processor, initiated conversations with other companies that provide services through Lightning, so we can move them closer to our users. Finally, I was in charge of all projects, operations, infrastructure related to Lightning.
