Crypto Operations & De Fi Research | Erc 20 Founder | Ai Workflow Automation

Builder and operator with hands-on CeFi and DeFi experience since 2018. In early 2026, built and deployed CurrenC (CRNC), a fixed-supply ERC-20 with immutable architecture and independently audited smart contracts. Over 7 years running live crypto strategies across CeFi and DeFi on Kraken, Binance, Bybit, Bitget, and Hyperliquid. AI has become central to how I work - I use Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini daily to research, build, and automate. Targeting remote operations, research, or AI automation roles in crypto. 

Alongside crypto, I bring 10+ years of enterprise operations experience at Rogers Communications and Bell Canada — leading large-scale, high-visibility programs including $125M+ vendor portfolios, national asset management, and building systems from the ground up in complex environments.
