Background

Who I am

I'm an operator with a rare combination of frontline leadership, B2C sales, digital marketing, and deep blockchain expertise built since 2017 — long before Web3 became a buzzword.

I've led teams of 12 as a Sous Chef, coordinated multi-disciplinary teams at international hackathons, and I write regularly on blockchain, Web3 strategy, and emerging technology on Medium.

I'm actively seeking operations coordinator, project administrator, and Web3 ops roles where I can apply structured thinking to complex problems.
