<aside> 📌 Crypto operator building liquidity systems and DeFi infrastructure across Asian markets. I work on token economics, capital strategy, and protocol partnerships — from bootstrapping liquidity and designing GTM to scaling ecosystem growth and navigating regulatory complexity. Experience spans DeFi product development, fundraising, and early-stage project advisory at the protocol layer. Background combines hedge fund experience with hands-on protocol work — including first-in-market product launches — and particular depth in emerging markets and institutional adoption. Focused on alternative assets, on-chain analytics, and the intersection of traditional finance and DeFi. CAIA charterholder, Singapore-based, Mandarin proficient.
