For the past 8 years, I have been deeply involved in the blockchain space, playing a key role in launching multiple networks (including Celo and Ocean). I led the migration of Celo from a Layer 1 to Layer 2 architecture and contributed across the stack—from infrastructure automation to consensus/client development and smart contracts.
