About Me

I'm a seasoned Engineering & Growth professional with a passion for building innovative solutions at the intersection of Web3, Data, and AI.

With over a decade of experience scaling startups from early-stage to successful exits, I've developed a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen. My journey has taken me from finance and operations roles to engineering leadership positions, where I've built and led teams that drive significant growth and innovation.

Currently, I'm focused on building decentralized infrastructure automation and security solutions at Palm Finance, leveraging advanced Web3 technologies like Chainlink, ZKP, and CCIP. I'm also working on a stealth project called NYX that aims to revolutionize how we think about composable operating systems.

Throughout my career, I've been driven by a desire to solve complex problems and create meaningful impact. Whether it's scaling a company from $32M to $100M ARR or developing cutting-edge technology solutions, I approach each challenge with creativity, strategic thinking, and a commitment to excellence.
