  5. 2025—NOW

    Expanded into GTM, community growth, ecosystem development, retail onboarding, and advisory work across Solana and Ethereum.

    Run a private retail trading group while tracking infrastructure, utility, technology, and AI projects across private communities.

05/MARKET

BUILT FROM
THE MARKET.

I entered Web3 as a retail trader before working with protocols and developers. That means I see both sides: how teams build, position, and distribute products—and how retail participants actually discover, evaluate, discuss, and use them.

Today I operate a private retail trading group and stay active across private communities, tracking technology, narratives, liquidity, user behavior, and emerging projects.

BUILDING SOMETHING
ON-CHAIN?

I’m interested in early-stage infrastructure, DeFi, AI × crypto, ecosystem development, GTM, partnerships, and products that need stronger connections between developers and market participants.
