After graduating college in 2024, I joined Sign, a Series A startup, working directly under the CPO for many exciting product initiatives, detailed below.

To receive crypto tokens on a blockchain, you need a wallet. But the fastest-growing segment of the space, InfoFi, does not reward wallets at all. Projects rank and reward users based on their activity on X and require users to manually pre-register their wallet before claim. This is inconvenient for both users and projects.

I investigated this mismatch and envisioned a hassle free solution with identity serving as the entry point. We built a proprietary verification layer that lets recipients prove eligibility with a social account such as an X handle, Telegram username, or Discord ID, and claim across multiple chains from there. No competitor offered this capability at the time.

It became the default rail for social-first distributions. Kaito used it to airdrop $30M to 150K recipients verified entirely through their X handles.

Impact: 500K+ transactions and $1M+ in first-year revenue.

I led product for the digital som pilot, Kyrgyzstan's state-backed digital cash program, scoped to serve 1.3 million citizens. I am limited in what I can share about this project, but feel free to read about it in the press here: CoinDesk Coverage, Sign's Annoucement.

Unlocker handles crypto token vesting. Teams deposit tokens, define unlock schedules, and recipients claim on cadence. It was one of our core products and was underperforming. I owned the full revamp.

Impact: 45% increase in MAU; 20% → 60%+ new user activation rate.

I use AI design and coding tools to compress the distance between an idea and something users can interact with. Two examples where this mattered:

Invalidating a hypothesis early. I designed 7 user flows across 80+ screens and built the React and TypeScript frontend myself, launching a secondary marketplace MVP in two weeks with one backend engineer. I then tracked adoption metrics, which invalidated our customer-demand hypothesis. We stopped development, saving approximately 3 engineer-months that would have gone toward a product without demonstrated demand.

Unblocking sales. Enterprise buyers have difficulty evaluating infrastructure from a slide deck. I built interactive demos on two-day turnarounds so the sales team could present a working product rather than a description of one. This contributed to 3 closed deals with zero engineering investment. See two demos below:
