What I do
Community & Ecosystem Strategy
Building and growing communities from scratch. Grew a protocol community from zero to 50K+ members as a solo operator. Deep crypto and tech ecosystem fluency across multiple market cycles.
Business Development & Partnerships
Years on the conference circuit building real relationships — warm introductions between founders and teams across 12+ ecosystems. Not cold outreach from a spreadsheet.
Operations & Execution
Process, coordination, and operational infrastructure for teams moving fast with unclear structure. I bring order without killing momentum.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Practical AI integration — autonomous agent systems, multi-model orchestration, pipeline automation. I build the tools, not just use them.

How I work
I work across strategy and execution — not just decks, not just task lists. Most useful in situations that are messy, fast-moving, or cross-functional. My background spans environments that have nothing in common except that someone had to figure it out: protocol operations, technical systems, facilities management, direct human services. That range is the point — it's pattern recognition across different environments, not lack of focus.
Need an operator who ships?
Consulting, contracts, and selective full-time roles. If you need strategy + execution across community, operations, and messaging — let's talk.
