What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my Web3 expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on community growth and innovative product development.

I am a strategic and systems-oriented Web3 growth professional with over four years of experience advancing Layer 1 and Layer 2 ecosystems across the Asia-Pacific region. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to launch and scale regional hubs, implement KPI-driven CRM frameworks, and activate grassroots developer and community engagement aligned with protocol missions. At TON Foundation, I led Korea’s growth strategy, transforming the region into one of the protocol’s top three global markets by executing over 60 go-to-market campaigns and supporting more than 50 early-stage teams through a structured incubation program.

My efforts resulted in an impressive 692% year-over-year community growth through localized education, events, and partnerships. I have successfully navigated decentralized ecosystems across fragmented geographies, coordinating initiatives across Southeast Asia, CIS, and Greater China. My partnerships with over 14 leading Korean university blockchain societies and collaboration with major enterprises through hackathons and adoption-focused programs like IdeaTON have further solidified my expertise in this field. I am fluent in both Korean and English, with a nuanced understanding of the regulatory, cultural, and behavioral dynamics in emerging Web3 markets.
