Inventing is a process that can be both fun and challenging, but it's also something that can be very rewarding. Curiosity has led me to start inventing things, since my childhood. It seemed like such simple fun at the time, but here we are some +30 years later with multiple business ventures and projects under my belt. Little has changed. 

 

As a native global citizen — I’m very keen on people’s careers, and the methodologies and innovations that provide new opportunities in    internet ecosystem      networks      devices      systems      social platforms      community & growth patterns      NFT collections      fintech    gaming     and    L1&L2 protocols. 

 

Web 3 - the future of blockchain technologies is here and I can help you to understand how everything works together – through people. The digital world is a place where we can find new opportunities every day and I can help you save time, cut costs &  build successful things
