Community Engagement Specialist

I’ve been deeply immersed in the world of cryptocurrency and Web3 since early 2017. My journey began with an eagerness to understand decentralized systems, and I quickly fell in love with the space. Over time, I transitioned from merely participating to actively contributing, helping several projects grow, and being on the ground floor during pivotal moments like DeFi Summer. During this time, I directly assisted projects that played a key role in shaping the DeFi landscape.

With a knack for simplifying complex ideas, I’ve taught countless people how to use DeFi protocols from scratch. I created detailed guides, wrote countless pieces of content in both public and private chats, and helped onboard individuals to the world of decentralized finance. My ability to break down complex topics has made me a trusted mentor and resource for many in the community.

I played a pivotal role in the early days of Ampleforth, helping build and strengthen the community by driving onboarding and retention efforts. From creating community engagement strategies to ensuring smooth onboarding experiences, I significantly contributed to Ampleforth’s early growth and success.

For Boop, a meme coin on the Arbitrum network, I was instrumental in securing a variety of strategic partnerships with influencers, exchanges, and other projects, helping to amplify the brand’s visibility and expand its reach.

Across all the projects I’ve worked with, including Ampleforth and Boop, I have a keen sense for when a community is lacking focus or energy. I’ve often identified projects with potential and stepped in to bring the community to life. By seeking out community leaders and team members, developing relationships, and providing guidance, I have consistently grown into a leadership role within these communities, helping focus and direct the energy toward long-term growth.

Beyond these projects, I’ve led and moderated communities, managed partnerships, and facilitated exchange listings. My hands-on experience extends to business development, working with key opinion leaders, managing social media raids, and coordinating collaborative campaigns.

Web3 has become my sole focus and income, allowing me to fully integrate my passion into my life. My experience spans Ethereum and Arbitrum, with strong familiarity in other major smart contract chains like Avalanche and Solana. Now, I’m looking to join a team where I can continue to contribute meaningfully, help a project grow, build my network, and be part of something solid in this fast-evolving world.
