What I do

The work itself, not a list of job titles.

  • Community and education

    I run AMAs and X Spaces, comment on the market, and make content that explains Web3 to people who are new to it.

  • Events and speaking

    I host, speak at and organise Web3 and fintech events across the region — online and in the room.

  • Regulation and tax

    The regulatory and tax side of crypto — what applies where, and what it means in practice.

  • Business development and infrastructure

    Web3 business development, and the infrastructure around onboarding, identity and compliance.
