Crypto VC：

I worked with Altonomy Ventures, a crypto VC focusing on Defi. I discovered new promising projects in very early stage (hackathon winners), and conducted technical and financial researches on them, to deliver investment reports for decision making. Examined 120+ projects, and invested in 21, including Acala, Hashflow, OpenOcean. Also, I connected with a wide range of builders and investors in the industry along the way.

Project Builder: 

Native Protocol - https://native.org/ . Native is incubated by Altonomy. I contributed as smart contract lead, designed and coded the first MVP that was adopted first several partners (Ankr, DendDAO, iGamie). Demonstrated profitability with innovative RFQ PMM engine, with $80M monthly trading volume on aggregators.

MetaBank - https://www.metabank.com.sg/ . As a digital asset lead, I designed and initialized a Defi ecosystem focusing on RWA and emerging market users, including permissioned chain infrastructure, sovereign physical assets tokenization, national DIDs. I conducted solid field research in Laos PDR for 3 months, established a localization team of 10+, and deployed MVP with high recognition of Laos PM office.

Opencord - https://www.opencord.xyz/ . Opencord is built by me and some developer friends. The initial idea is to provide a decentralized alternative of Discord, as none of us is satisfied with Discord user experience. I designed its voting-escrow based tokenomics toward a co-built community and a long-term healthy ecosystem.

Personal Research and Trading:

I started to trade cryptos from 2019, mostly delta neutral arbitrage strategies. I was among the first batch of guys who connect to exchange APIs and run algorithmic trading strategies. 

After Defi summer, I was devoted to tokenomics design and rapidly developed Defi Legos. I wrote research reports when new protocols emerge, for my company as well as for my own blog.
