Joined Camelot 4 months after launch. First hire. Still the only BD hire 3 years later, across two protocols now. 1 of the 5-person core team. $70B+ in volume, $57M in fees, $13M in revenue. Deployed our DEX infra across 18 Orbit chain ecosystems (19th = Robinhood, incoming).
Led the AI/agent outreach before most protocols had a strategy for it — multiple live integrations driving on-chain volume. Now also BD at Cypher Industries, same core team, new permissionless DEX + launchpad infra on ETH mainnet. Deep in Arbitrum, Base, and ETH mainnet. Deep on-chain, deep in the DeFi trenches.
Cypher Industries
ETH Mainnet
Same team behind Camelot, building permissionless DEX and launchpad infra (Algebra Integral codebase, v2/v4 AMM). BD and GTM from zero — opening up the infra to agents, building integration partnerships with AI agent frameworks and on-ramp providers, setting up the entire pipeline.
Camelot DEX
Arbitrum
First hire after launch. Only BD/growth hire ever. Full autonomy under the Head of BD. Lean team — 3 founders, 2 devs, 1 CM, and me.
Doing all the devrel and closing the deals.
VC / Advisory
Did due diligence and R&D for a few smaller crypto VC firms. Assessed early-stage projects across DeFi, infra, and L2s — tokenomics, tech architecture, team, market fit. Heavily on-chain and embedded in high-signal communities. Built the network that made the Camelot role possible.
3 Businesses
Ran three of my own businesses before going full-time crypto. Built the commercial instincts — sales, ops, partner management, figuring things out with no playbook.
$13M protocol revenue
100s of teams given hands-on CL support
Full deal lifecycle, ecosystem partnerships, institutional origination, cross-chain outreach, foundation relations, KOL management, launchpad DD, project incubation, devrel
CL architecture, AMM v2/v3/v4 (Algebra Integral), contract integration scoping, liquidity campaign setup, DeFi protocol infra — can hold my own in a dev chat
Arbitrum (deep), 18 Orbit chain ecosystems, Ethereum mainnet, Base, cross-chain — talked to teams on most major chains
In the agent space early. Active with AI/agent teams, exploring agentic DeFi infra, building partnerships before most protocols had a strategy for it. Multiple live integrations shipped.
