01.About Me

I'm a 23-year-old crypto native developer. My journey into tech started in 2019 during my junior year of high school when I discovered web development. Since then, I've been coding with Python and JavaScript, constantly exploring new frontiers.

When GPT-3 was released in 2020, I dove deep into independent AI research, which naturally converged with my interest in crypto trading that began the same year. Today, I leverage this intersection of skills at Nightcore Ventures, where I focus on crypto strategy and AI-driven business scaling.

Beyond my core work, I'm a builder and a connector. I help founders launch their own tokens, craft their branding, and build their digital presence. I thrive on connecting people together, bridging the gap between visionaries and the technical talent needed to bring their ideas to life.
