Life
I believe we each possess the ability to create positive change in the world, but the most important step is to start with the self: to become aware of our own biases, think critically, and act with intention.
I'm constantly reflecting on how I can best set myself up to be more effective in those loftier efforts. This includes venturing into philosophy, spirituality, psychotechnologies, and systems for living that lower the friction as much as possible.
You can see the books that shape how I live in the reading log, along with my reflections.
Work
I began my crypto career exploring and experimenting with decentralized technologies to see how they can help us replace broken systems and improve lives. I write about crypto, hosted developer events around the world, and taught myself iOS, web, and Solidity programming. Today I invest in early stage startups with 1kx.

Everyday curiosities
I spend a lot of time exploring music and travel with a Nikon FM.
I enjoy yoga, bouldering, calisthenics, running, and football. In fact, my first ever blockchain application was a Fantasy Premier League game on Ethereum.
