I'm 20, a generalist building in financial infrastructure for internet-native capital markets.

Previously, I worked with Starknet, supporting 3+ early-stage teams in raising $100K+ I worked with founders across product design, matched the right talent to teams, and helped refine market fit.

I also founded and led a media agency generating $3k+ revenue and over 500K impressions, helping web3 and AI projects scale distribution and storytelling.

I've won 5+ hackathons, handled freelance projects and actively experiment across DeFi.

Currently figuring out my next move, deep in DeFi and actively looking for founder office, operator, or research roles at early-stage teams. If you're building something and need a sharp generalist, reach out.

Some Thoughts & Learnings

If you want to build something, be a user first.
Always optimize for opportunity cost.
Psychology and economics drive everything.
Designing financial markets is always an iterative process.
As more people understand money, the case for programmable finance becomes obvious.

Also available for freelance work across dev and research.
