I have built my career across both traditional finance and digital assets, with experience at Bitwise, Brevan Howard Digital and J.P. Morgan.
Most recently, I was part of the research team at Bitwise, where I carried out fundamental research across altcoins, with a particular focus on the Ethereum, Solana and NEAR ecosystems. I also worked on thematic research across areas such as DeFi, stablecoins, tokenisation and AI x crypto, alongside market structure, valuation and on-chain analysis.
Before that, I spent over two years at Brevan Howard Digital working across liquid and venture digital asset exposures, valuation, portfolio analysis and internal crypto research. My earlier experience in traditional finance gave me a solid grounding in markets, derivatives and institutional finance.
I am now looking for my next role in digital assets. Research and investment strategy are the most obvious fit, but I am also open to institutional, venture or broader roles where having experience across both TradFi and crypto is useful.
