I lead cross-functional technical launches, operations, and stakeholder delivery.
What I'm looking for
At InfraDAO within The Graph Ecosystem, I led blockchain infrastructure testing and launches across more than 30 chains, successfully integrating 20+ into the ecosystem. I coordinated core developers, blockchain teams, indexers, marketing, and community communications to keep complex launches on track.
I also edited and published node-deployment documentation and produced technical governance reports that supported ecosystem leadership decisions. My work focused on network health, relationship optimization, transparency, and clear change management.
Previously, at BrandHuman, I oversaw production strategy, budgets, vendors, timelines, and cross-functional delivery for branding initiatives. I helped launch the firm’s largest client’s brick-and-mortar wellness center, contributing to site design, operations, hiring, and event management on-site.
I began my project-management career by building a virtual assistant business through Adept Assistance. I managed multi-client workflows, CRM optimization, research, scheduling, and customer communications while creating systems that improved efficiency and client retention.
