I am exploring startup ideas in crypto at South Park Commons. I live in San Francisco, CA.
Experience
Previously, I was a product manager at Uniswap, the largest decentralized cryptocurrency exchange with $2T of volume, working on NFTs and backend. Hereās why I left.
I joined after they acquired Genie, an NFT marketplace aggregator that did $800M of trading volume, where I was head of product.
Before that, I improved Lyftās pay and matching algorithms, saving $67M/year while increasing driversā earnings by 4%. At Kite, I scaled our AI code completion plugin from 1 programming language to 13+. At Microsoft, I led the Windows and Mac PowerPoint teams and grew usage of AI design features by 10x.
I studied computer science at the University of North Carolina on a full-ride merit scholarship. I won UNCās first hackathon as a team, and 2nd place (solo) in āmost web3ā at Uniswapās company hackathon. My strengths though, are in user research, design, and go-to-market.
