A decade operating in crypto markets as the sole investment and risk operator for a private fund, across spot, perpetuals, and futures. Ran daily analysis covering protocol fundamentals, tokenomics structure, on-chain data, and narrative timing. Produced structured written analysis for internal decision-making and external clients. Wound down operations through 2024 as Canadian regulatory requirements shifted post-FTX; continued independent research and trading through the gap months. Returned to full-time work in March 2026, building tooling that stayed on the shelf until AI made it economically viable. The core skill is decomposition, taking a market structure, a protocol, or a system apart, locating the failure conditions, and closing them.
