I am a product and engineering leader specializing in web3, DeFi, and SaaS growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a product and engineering leader who builds web3 and SaaS products, leads engineering teams, and drives user and revenue growth.
Over the past decade I co-founded multiple startups and led product and engineering efforts across APAC and the US; I raised USD 800k for Steadefi, grew protocol TVL to USD 2.8M, and bootstrapped Skilledd to $1M ARR within 12 months.
I combine hands-on Solidity and full‑stack engineering with product strategy, go-to-market execution, and recruitment to scale early-stage ventures; I look to own roadmaps, mentor engineers, and ship high-impact products.
