I’ve been at the intersection of business and tech since 1996. After getting my degree in Marketing , I spent 17 years running a physical retail store. That’s where I really learned the ropes—handling everything from customer psychology to the shift from cash to digital payments.

In 2014, I pivoted into the crypto world as an early P2P vendor. Over a decade later, I’m still active in the P2P space, which has given me a sharp eye for fraud detection and a deep understanding of how people actually use decentralized systems.

I’m also a bit of a tech hobbyist; I code my own trading bots on HaasOnline using HaasScript. While I’m not a full-time dev, I speak the language. This allows me to act as a bridge—translating messy human needs into clear technical requirements to build products that actually work for people.
