I was billing 60+ hour weeks drafting contracts while watching tech companies
reshape the world. One Startup Weekend in Hong Kong changed everything.
I quit law, flew to New York, and joined a coding bootcamp.
Won my first hackathon. Joined Crypto.com as their first Product Manager
and scaled the team from 1 to 300+ people, building the VISA card,
the Exchange, and every major product in between.
From there, Magic Eden, Animoca Brands, and ultimately joining
Open Campus as a founding team member, building a network where learning is rewarded and
verified on-chain. My own journey proved transformation is possible.
Now I'm building the infrastructure so millions of others don't have to figure it out alone.

Advisory & Collaboration
Some conversations

change trajectories.
I'm drawn to builders working where blockchain and AI meet real-world impact — the kind that changes how people learn, earn, and participate in the economy.
I'm selective about advisory commitments. I take them seriously and show up as a genuine partner. If there's alignment between what you're building and what I believe in, let's talk.
