I turn complex data into commercial strategy for digital transformation, DeFi, and market-entry decisions.
What I'm looking for
At Aurora Labs, I turned raw on-chain data into a vault-market strategy that leadership adopted as a prioritised product direction. My research across 1,480 venues, 15 chains, and $68.5bn in benchmark data shaped chain-coverage and partner conversations.
I reconstructed six major DeFi vaults from transaction history, surfaced documentation-versus-chain gaps in every case, and reframed them as product opportunities. I also built the commercial case for a Yield API and modelled $1.5–5.3m in potential annual revenue for a recommended vault offering.
Previously at Infosys, I led delivery for the migration of 3.6 million customer accounts to an automated Oracle platform for a Fortune 500 US utility. I worked between senior client leaders and 100+ specialists across six time zones, reduced recurring defects by 20%, and cut issue-resolution time by 15%.
Alongside my MBA at Cranfield, I advised a sustainable-urbanism research foundation on entering London’s ESG advisory market, covering market sizing, pricing, financials, and implementation. I enjoy taking ambiguous briefs from raw evidence to clear, defensible recommendations.
