I've been a derivatives trader for over 8 years, setting up multiple profitable volatility trading desks covering extremely volatile commodities, equity indexes, and interbank FX. In 2017, I began trading crypto, leveraging my experience in traditional financial markets then being drawn into the technology. Currently, I am the fund manager for a US domiciled DeFi yield farming hedge fund. We follow strict operational security guidelines, with MPC on every transaction, disaster recovery procedures, in house code review. Furthermore, a fund administrator and independent auditor verifies every single transaction.

My investment philosophy follows very strong, basic principles. 1) Don't trust, verify. 2) The project must provide value.

1. We don't trust twitter, audits or anything at face value. Every line of code needs to be checked in addition to due diligence on a teams track record. Unintended contract interactions and market risks need to accounted for.
2. Degen forks with hyperinflation are not our game. A new protocol must attract liquidity and reduce friction for users, by solving a real problem. This is what builds communities with long term viability.

By being a boule member I hope to be able to share and discuss ideas in a focused forum, ultimately bringing alpha and insights to the community. '
