Blockchain & Crypto Coaching, Events, and Resources

I got into blockchain early and have spent the past few years building real products in the Web3 space. At Nerd United, I became the go-to for NFTs, leading the development of an NFT marketplace and integrating Ethereum smart contracts into our platform. Along the way, I worked on scaling infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD, so I know how to bridge the gap between experimental Web3 ideas and production-ready systems. If you’re looking to understand blockchain fundamentals, launch a project on Ethereum, or explore how NFTs and Web3 applications fit into the bigger tech ecosystem, I’d love to help you get there.

With a robust background in blockchain, crypto, and Web3, I bring a wealth of experience from both the technical and business sides of the industry. As the former President of the Stanford Blockchain Club, I have mentored numerous students and professionals in navigating the complexities of blockchain and crypto. As the Co-Founder of Aineko (a streaming data platform), Head of GTM & Sales at Syndicate Protocol (a Web3 infrastructure company), and Security & Custody lead at Bitski (wallet-as-a-service), I have a proven track record of building and scaling innovative Web3 products. Additionally, by investing in DeFi companies through the FinTech Collective and angel investing, I honed my skills in due diligence, fund strategy, and tokenomics. Let's connect and take your blockchain and Web3 ambitions to the next level!

I advised Coinbase from 2022 through 2024, helping shape AI strategy during one of the most consequential periods in crypto history. I had a front row seat to the FTX collapse, the institutional reset that followed, and the industry's shift from speculation toward infrastructure, stablecoins, and real world utility. I work with founders, investors, executives, and operators who want to understand what is actually happening beneath the headlines. My focus includes market structure, exchanges, stablecoins, governance, incentives, AI, emerging financial infrastructure, and the forces shaping the next decade of crypto. Most crypto advice focuses on trends. I focus on mental models. My goal is to help people see around corners, understand where value is accruing, and develop a deeper understanding of how technology, markets, and human incentives interact.
