Ta-da is a Web3-native platform transforming AI data collection by rewarding contributors through blockchain-secured systems. As an executive team member, I drove product strategy, community growth, ecosystem partnerships, and operational scaling. Led the vision and roadmap, scaled the user base from 2,000 to 100,000+ users in under 6 months through product-led growth and reward mechanisms Designed and led the full product lifecycle: rewards system, wallet abstraction, smart contract integrations, cross-chain UX Spearheaded the launch of the Ta-da mobile app and the rework of the new cross-chain web app Managed a cross-functional team of 15 (engineering, delivery, support, marketing, BD, community), led hiring and mentoring Established Agile across the org: coached squads on rituals and ownership to boost delivery velocity Secured 30+ strategic partnerships with AWS, Particle Network, KGEN and more Closed 50+ B2B data deals ($10k–$50k) and acquired $400k+ in grants Hosted 300+ Twitter Spaces, scaled the community from 50k to 150k, ran weekly AMAs and product deep dives

Driven by curiosity and ambition, I’ve built a deep, self-taught understanding of blockchain’s technological foundations, architecture, and challenges across major ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Ethereum (Mainnet & L2s), Solana & moar. My expertise is rooted in hands-on exploration and direct engagement with cutting-edge protocols, with a strong focus on Ethereum’s DeFi and scaling solutions. Through continuous research, experimentation, and real-world usage, I have actively engaged with and analyzed: • Layer 1 & Layer 2 Scaling – Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Avalanche, ZkSync, Starknet, Arbitrum, Optimism • Decentralized Exchanges & Liquidity Protocols – Uniswap, Curve, Balancer, Maverick, Raydium • Lending/Borrowing & Liquid Staking – Aave, Maker, Liquity, Gravita, Lido, Jito • Bridges & Bridge Aggregators – DeFiLlama, Orbiter Finance, Magpie, Jumper, Wormhole, Axelar • NFT & SocialFi Protocols – Blur, Tensor, Farcaster, Lens Protocol, Kaito, Cookie.fun • MEV & Advanced DeFi Strategies – Flashbots, CoWSwap, EigenLayer My hands-on approach and deep curiosity allow me to stay ahead of emerging trends, assess innovations critically, and navigate the rapidly evolving Web3 landscape.

I worked in a cosmopolitan environment, closely collaborating with Chinese students on Deep Eutectic Solvents, carrying out both electrochemical and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy) experiences. This experience allowed me to acquire a decent level in chinese, take a step forward in the understanding of new, eco-friendly, sustainable solvents. In human terms , I made valuable friends, broadened my mind, and proved the ability to adapt to a whole different country for an extended period of time.
