What I'm looking for

I seek a remote trading/support role where I provide on-chain signals, automated pipelines, collaborative strategy work, and opportunities to scale quantitative impact.

I am a crypto-driven strategist with over five years of DeFi and on-chain analytics experience, focused on narrative-based opportunity scouting and precision trade execution.

I monitor cross-chain liquidity flows, maintain high-accuracy profit/loss ledgers, and generate real-time alerts that uncover early momentum in emerging tokens.

I develop and backtest algorithmic strategies using Python and SQL, implement invariant tests to reduce smart-contract risk, and have engineered yield-aggregation and cross-chain solutions for performance gains.

I thrive in fast-paced, fully remote environments and am committed to delivering automated signal pipelines, actionable market insights, and collaborative support to trading desks.
