🧭 Mission & Perspective
I believe the next phase of financial evolution will be defined by open, programmable infrastructure — enabled by public blockchains, stablecoins, and tokenised real-world assets. My goal is to help institutions and ecosystems move beyond experimentation and into meaningful adoption.
Whether through writing, advising, or venture development, I work to translate complexity into strategy — and ideas into execution.
