I would like to highlight my passion for blockchain and cryptocurrencies, specifically Ethereum and its ecosystem. Accessibility to blockchain and cryptocurrencies is where I would like to focus my time and energy, because this is where I see major growth over the next 10 years.

Outside of my professional blockchain experience, I have been actively investing in Cryptocurrencies since 2020; I interact with Cex's, Dex's, Swaps, Bridges, Defi and Macro-analytic Website Tools; Wallets; Metamask, Phantom, TronLink, BSC Wallet on a weekly basis. In my spare time, I research L1, L2's, Token Utility and Purpose.

My exposure to Blockchain dates back to Late 2020, where a friend of mine was working on Vuzec, a blockchain startup in the music industry. I supported them as a strategic consultant in product vision and raising capital. At this time I was working a full-time job at Credit Agricole, so my support was mainly after work or on the weekends. The vision was to use ERC-1155 tokens to revolutionize album tokenization and artist funding. 

During my time with ConsenSys, I interacted with Quasi-Sovereigns, Financial Institutions and conglomerates on a day to day basis. I used applications such as Jira, Postman, GitHub to interact with our developers coding in JavaScript, Solidity. Exposure to in-house apps included CodeFi Assets, Metamask, Infura, Quorum and more. One of the several projects I contributed to, stood out; Quasi-Sovereign Diversity Credit project. I worked as part of the core team alongside APAC Director, Charles D'Huassy (current dYdX CEO) and Solutions Architect, Arafet Ben Makhlouf. I supported our clients’ implementation of our whitelabel product CodeFi Assets. I further contributed with a tokenomics model including price simulations to present in-person to our client and their third-party consultant. I looked at several different blockchain projects implementing; marketplaces, user identity verification, vaccination record tracking, L2 Staking and Governance. I received a commendable peer review from Charles D’Haussy on my integral contributions to the ConsenSys Team.
