Current Clients:o Manager, Special Projects for MNTGE, an NFT-enabled fashion brand merging physical & digital. o Technical representative for ApeCoin at ETHGlobal hackathons and judge for ETHGlobal Paris. o Product manager for stealth token-gated content platform with a major Hollywood movie director.Previous clients and projects:o Product manager for MNTGE Patchwork: an NFT collection with 11 different artists. The NFTs were redeemable for physical patches with an NFC chip tying the physical item to the NFT. Leveraged ERC-6551 so MNTGE jackets (also chipped) could own patches embroidered on them. o Community and partnerships lead for Paradigm-backed NFT collection Art Gobblers. Collection was first to implement VRGDA in an ERC-20 token emission schedule. o Launched Ape Drops, the first NFT marketplace using $APE as its native token. Built in partnership with Manifold, we generated over $1m USD in sales in 1 month across 7 NFT drops, most notably with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa.o Technical consultant for ApeCoin DAO. Designed Dune Analytics dashboard for tracking ApeCoin KPI’s and advised PR strategy on technical topics for press releases. o Product Manager for NBA all-star Baron Davis’s Black Santa an NFT project launched with Crypto.com
