What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, team collaboration, and growth in the Web3 and FinTech sectors.

I am an engineering executive and Web3 strategist with over 20 years of global experience leading high-impact technical teams and driving innovation across startups and multinational corporations. As the founder and Engineering Director at AES Engineering Solutions, I have successfully scaled a remote engineering consultancy that delivers automation, digital tooling, and embedded hardware for various sectors, including medical and financial. My expertise in decentralized finance and digital asset systems has allowed me to align engineering strategies with business growth through emerging technologies.

Throughout my career, I have directed hybrid technical teams and led strategic project delivery, achieving significant milestones such as $1M+ in cost savings and the introduction of innovative user-facing systems. I am also passionate about community engagement and education, as evidenced by my founding of @TEKToday on TikTok, where I evangelize blockchain, DeFi, and tokenomics. Currently, I am preparing for a DAO launch that emphasizes circular economy and decentralized governance, further showcasing my commitment to innovation and leadership in the Web3 space.
