My interest in trading and investing started early. I founded the investment club at San Clemente High School and led it for three years. During those same high school years, I built an Ethereum mining rig and spent lunch periods working on automated crypto trading bots with friends. That hands-on experience with blockchain technology and markets shaped everything that followed.

At Purdue, I continued that momentum by co-founding Boiler Blockchain and helping develop the university's first undergraduate blockchain course. While building on the technical side, I also started managing a portfolio for friends, which taught me how to explain complex strategies in ways that actually made sense to people.

That blend of technical depth and clear communication is what I bring to business development now. At Motive, I sourced $2.72M in pipeline and hit 197% of target in just three months—not because I'm great at cold calling (though I made 12,801 of them), but because I can translate how blockchain tech actually creates value for enterprises. At VastAdvisor, I onboarded $1.93B in AUM by building that same trust and technical credibility with institutional clients.

I'm looking to bring that same approach to crypto partnerships and BD roles—where understanding the tech isn't a nice-to-have, it's the foundation of every deal.
