I'm 24, born in 2001.

I'm Founder of ForgeX. It started as a clear frustration in mid-2024: memecoin devs were launching with terrible tools—clunky liquidity setups, MEV exposure, fragmented trading flows. I wanted one clean onchain platform that handled market-making, bundled trades, sniping protection, and real-time analytics so creators could focus on the token, not survival. We shipped the first version and went commercial in October 2024. Early users came from targeted Telegram and Discord groups; feedback was immediate and brutal, which made iteration fast. Volume climbed steadily, daily active devs became the norm, and the product-market fit felt real. That momentum led to acquisition by Sonic in October 2025.

Prior to ForgeX, almost everything I knew came from hands-on experience in crypto since 2021. It began during a gap year with a marketing internship at Neo Blockchain. There I saw how community isn't optional—it's the entire engine of a project. In 2023 I joined a leveraged yield farming protocol on Arbitrum and ran point from zero to mainnet launch: ops, execution, crisis management, the lot. In 2024 I was Program Manager at BlockBooster, sourcing very early projects and working side by side with founders to nail product-market fit through constant testing and pivots.

I graduated UNSW the same year (2024) with a major in Econometrics and Financial Technology. The degree gave structure to what I was already doing—data-driven problem solving—but the real lessons came from those live battlefields in crypto.

Outside work I snowboard and read across platforms deliberately. I avoid algorithmic feeds to keep different views in front of me.
