Full Stack Web3 Engineer, Governance Builder, Relentless Learner

Designing intuitive interfaces, shaping protocol UX, and building end-to-end systems for DAOs, DeFi, and decentralised infrastructure.

Writing

Writing has always been part of how I learn and reflect. Over the years, I’ve kept blogs on everything from dev life to breaking into tech. These days, I’m focused on DAO tooling, full-stack engineering in Web3, and helping others navigate the space.

Modular Governance is starting to work

April 17, 2025

Reflections on Aragon’s new governance stack, the shift toward composable decision flows, and what it means for the future of DAOs.

Tinkering

I treat projects like prototypes: quick builds to explore new patterns, tools, or mental models. Some grow into real tools, others are pure learning. Either way, they’re a core part of how I stay sharp and push deeper into the stack.

Mentoring

I’ve been mentoring developers for the past few years — starting with friends, then growing into community-based and platform mentoring. I've helped multiple people land their first tech roles and level up their skills through focused support, honest feedback, and real-world insights.

While I’m no longer active on platforms like Coding Coach or The Mentoring Club, I’m always open to supporting motivated learners. If you’re serious about growth and want guidance breaking into the industry, feel free to reach out via email or DM me on X and we can work something out.
