Crypto Ecosystem Growth · Community · Builder

Summary

Crypto-native ecosystem operator who grows communities and closes deals. I convene and grow developer communities across the Base and Farcaster ecosystem: hosting Spaces and builders' nights, mentoring early builders, and running onchain community games.

I have also sold across my whole career: forex client acquisition, insurance sales in banking, and full-cycle selling of my own freelance services to dozens of businesses (prospect → pitch → close → deliver). I ship what I talk about: live mini-apps and a paid x402 API, built fast with AI coding tools like Claude Code.

The rare generalist who can rally a community, run a pipeline, and ship the product.
