Web3 Growth Lead | Community Architect | Discord 0→4 K | 13 Guild Partnerships | Remote First

I build communities and grow platforms from zero.

At DeQuest, a Web3 blockchain gaming platform, I grew the Discord community from 0 to 4,000 members, forged partnerships with 13 gaming guilds and DAOs, and led a global team across 5+ time zones maintaining a 24/7 content pipeline. My role was to be the bridge between technical blockchain development and the people who needed to care about it.

Before that, I founded Asia Vape and CBD International Wholesale — a cross-border B2B operation across the US and Southeast Asia — built from scratch with no funding, no team, and no blueprint.

Since 2024 I have been running two bootstrapped agencies: ClimaForge (B2B web design for HVAC companies in the US) and PostSathi (social media for small businesses in Nepal). Both built with zero budget, full-stack systems, and heavy automation.

I hold an MBA from Webster University and I operate remote-first out of Kathmandu, Nepal. No visa sponsorship needed. Available immediately for global remote roles in Web3 growth, community, or senior marketing.

What I bring: community architecture from zero, async global team management, tokenomics and DeFi fluency, B2B partnership development, and a founder's bias toward execution over process.
