From 42 Paris to CTO.
No degree required.
10 years of picking the hard problems. The kind that don't come with a tutorial.
42 Paris
No teachers. No degree. No excuses. Just you, the terminal, and a bunch of problems nobody showed you how to solve.
ArcelorMittal
Security engineer. First paycheck. Learned that production systems break in ways you can't google.
Equisafe / BTU
Wrote my first smart contract. Deployed it. Watched it run on mainnet. Got hooked. Voila.
Tokeny + ERC-3643
Co-authored the security token standard. The one institutions actually ended up using for real money.
Fantom / Retreeb
Head of Blockchain. $20M TVL. Won Hacker Noon Contributor of the Year. Twice.
Polytrade + ERC-6960
Built dual-layer token standard. $12M TVL. Started thinking bigger about what standards can do.
Biconomy Nexus
Tech Lead. 38M transactions. $441M moved on-chain. The chapter where I learned what real scale looks like.
Solichain
Co-founded a dev studio. Shipped for 50+ Web3 startups. And started building AI agents on the side.
Integra + AI
CTO of a Layer-1. But honestly? The AI agent systems I'm building are what keep me up at night. In a good way.
The receipts.
I don't love listing credentials. But if you're considering working with me, you probably want to know this stuff. Every ERC is on-chain, every role is verifiable.
Hacker Noon Contributor of the Year
2020, twice. I wrote a lot that year. Mostly about Solidity patterns and DeFi architecture.
Startup Mentor
Outlier Ventures and Startup Wise Guys. I help Web3 teams figure out their protocol architecture before they burn through their runway.
42 Paris Alumni
No teachers, no tuition, no hand-holding. You just get problems and a terminal. It's how I learned to figure things out.
Multi-ERC Co-Author
Three Ethereum standards and counting. It's a small club, but honestly the process taught me more than the title.
