Strategic advisor and protocol architect with 20+ years building and scaling high-stakes systems across finance, telecoms, gaming and blockchain-based digital economies. Former CTO of a blockchain energy platform that raised $24M+ and remains operational today, and engineering lead behind NFT and token systems generating $20M+ in primary sales and sustained secondary market activity. Track record of real adoption across enterprise blockchain, consumer token economies, and high-throughput systems. Combines technical expertise with market and ecosystem insight for Layer-1s, protocols, and fintech platforms. Founded and scaled a blockchain venture (~$2.2M revenue, 10-person team), evolving from client delivery and custodial systems toward protocol-native, non-custodial architectures. Also advises emerging AI/AR/Web3 platforms on integrating decentralized systems into real-world experiences.
