Crypto Mind Machine

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


I have worked with numerous crypto companies, solving product challenges, designing and coding the solutions, launching tokens, and onboarding new users. My contributions have brought over a hundred million users and significant revenues to various platforms.

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 Ethereum's history. Throughout my crypto career, there has been the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented individuals in the space.

Crypto Mind 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.

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.
