About me

I like to build software that contributes to human progress. I'm currently working on projects in web3, focusing on DAOs, community economics and tooling that expands the scope of digital ownership.

Work

I work on Coinvise — essential no-code tools for creators to launch and operate web3 communities. Since it's launch in 2021, Coinvise has grown to over 20K creators and onboarded notable brands including RAC, CoinDesk, Defiant and FWB.
