Eight years in Web3. I take on work with no precedent, which means starting before anyone hands me a plan, and building the tools it needs along the way.
Summary
From rugged dreams to real protocol.
A hands-on Web3 strategist with 8+ years of turning ambitious ideas into shipped products. I work across go-to-market strategy, global partnership development, and the regulatory landscapes that decide whether any of it can actually launch.
Currently at Kaia DLT Foundation in Seoul. Reach me at wb3vb.eth@gmail.com or on LinkedIn.
