At FundingPips, I lead the content pipeline for three brands across prop trading, futures trading, and forex brokerage. I turn complex trading concepts into educational content, from SEO articles and platform guides to social posts and launch copy.

At iBTC, I translated Bitcoin DeFi protocols into accessible content and took a lead role in crafting and editing the whitepaper. My work contributed to investor understanding and $8M in pre-seed funding, with multiple backers citing the whitepaper and articles in their investment decisions.

At CoinGecko, I wrote and edited SEO content, using blockchain explorers to research transactions, fees, and other on-chain details. Across finance, fintech, crypto, AI, and iGaming, I aim to make complex ideas clear and useful for the people reading them.
