About

I build people infrastructure for decentralized teams. Over the last 3+ years in Web3, I’ve scaled distributed teams from 10 → 40 contributors across engineering (Solidity, Rust), DeFi, tokenomics, and community functions — while designing token + fiat payroll systems, vesting automation, and multi-jurisdictional hiring frameworks. My focus is simple: Align talent, incentives, and governance in remote-first crypto environments. I’ve architected hybrid payroll systems (streaming + multi-sig), implemented async performance frameworks, and built wallet-based onboarding models aligned with MiCA and FATF compliance requirements. I operate at the intersection of: • Workforce Strategy • Tokenized Compensation • DAO-style Governance • Global Compliance Based in UAE. Open to remote roles or relocation (EU / APAC). If you're scaling a protocol, exchange, or crypto-native product and need structured People Ops without corporate bureaucracy — let’s connect.
