Crypto Product • Startup • Data Science • Design
Currently based in Hanoi / Berlin


I'm a crypto-native product developer with a background in cybersecurity law and over seven years of full-time experience in web3. I’ve managed the entire product lifecycle, from ideation to launch, working with startups to shape product concepts, build robust data models, design interfaces and integrate solutions. I also develop go-to-market strategies that drive successful launches. My contributions have helped platforms attract over a hundred million users and generate significant revenue.

Contributions to and founding of projects have spanned from highly successful ventures to those that did not pan out, all while witnessing many pivotal moments in the new Internet's recent history. Throughout my crypto career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most talented individuals in the industry.

Meowww404 and the Machine is my personal blog where I regularly share my learnings and insights from these experiences, hoping to inform, accelerate learning, or inspire you in some way.

A bit about me before transitioning to crypto, I worked in cybersecurity and humanitarian law, analyzing and drafting national-level policies. I also served as a project lead at a renowned political think tank, focusing on topics such as legal aid for insurgency, policies for intergovernmental organizations like NATO, ASEAN, and the EU, as well as security analysis in the Asia-Pacific region.

I had a passion for both science and the arts. I led the science club in my early years, exploring biology and physics, while also enjoying contemporary arts. This dual interest eventually led me to pursue a degree at Goldsmiths, University of London.

On weekends, I enjoy playing tennis, holidays are reserved for diving, spare time are for good sci-fi reads and the arts.
