I am a dedicated blockchain enthusiast with over six years of hands-on experience in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. My journey began in 2016 as a cryptocurrency investor, leading into active participation in the ICO boom of 2016/2017. This early involvement laid the groundwork for a deeper focus on the rapidly evolving DeFi ecosystem.

Over the years, I’ve developed strong expertise in using DeFi applications across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. I’ve contributed to the development and launch of several token projects, handling tokenomics design, liquidity provisioning via Uniswap and PancakeSwap, and presale coordination through platforms like PinkSale. I’ve also managed social media and community operations, including Telegram groups and X (formerly Twitter) accounts, for these projects.

In 2019 and 2020, I served as a Kusama Ambassador, working directly with the Polkadot and Kusama core teams. This role provided key insights into the Parachain and Canary Network architecture and strengthened my technical and community-building knowledge.

Between 2021 and 2022, I took part in several major parachain auctions across the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems:

• Moonriver (Kusama) – June–July 2021
  Participated in the crowdloan for Moonriver, the canary network to Moonbeam, which brought Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to Kusama.

• Robonomics (Kusama) – Sept–Oct 2021
  Contributed to Robonomics’ auction, supporting its mission to merge IoT and blockchain via Kusama’s Parachain model.

• Moonbeam (Polkadot) – Nov–Dec 2021
  Supported the Moonbeam parachain auction on Polkadot, contributing DOT to help secure its slot. I continued to follow and use the network post-launch, engaging with its DeFi tools and governance.

Following this period, I supported the launch of additional DeFi projects—two on Binance Smart Chain and several on Ethereum—acting as an early liquidity provider and market maker, while continuing to consult on tokenomics and user onboarding.

Currently, my research and investment focus is shifting toward the DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) sector, where I see massive untapped potential. I believe DePIN represents a major next wave for blockchain adoption, merging real-world infrastructure with crypto-based incentive models.
