01 / Selected work

A track record
of building.

I work across the commercial side of a business: finding the opportunity, bringing the right people together, and getting it into market.

01Company building2024–2026

Building Printr
from the ground up.

I co-founded and led an omnichain token launch platform, owning product direction, fundraising, partnerships, and go-to-market.

We raised $4.5M, built a 15-person distributed team, and developed a platform that reached $250M+ in trading volume.

Inside the work

I aligned engineering, product, BD, and GTM around the roadmap, developed investor relationships, and closed partnerships and integrations with companies including OKX, Bybit, Axiom, Dexscreener, and Questflow.

Printr V2 brought configurable token launches and fee models to market. My role combined company leadership with the day-to-day work of getting a product built and distributed.

Tools for an agent-driven world.

Printr V2 was designed for creators, AI agents, and third-party applications. The company’s public toolkit includes an SDK, command-line interface, and MCP server for programmatic token launches and staking across EVM chains and Solana.

That product direction reflects a broader interest of mine: how autonomous software can use financial infrastructure, and how to build a business around it.

04 / A little context

Commercial instinct.
Founder ownership.

My career has taken me from strategy consulting and global commercial operations to payments, DeFi, and founding a company.

That mix shapes how I work. I get close to the product, understand the market, and bring partners and teams together around a practical plan.

I also invest as an angel, backing teams across crypto and financial infrastructure.

I’m based in Lisbon and have led distributed teams. I studied business at Ivey and engineering at Western University.

What’s next

Working on
what comes next.

I’m interested in joining exceptional technical founders to build the business around their technology. My experience is in crypto and payments; my next chapter could also be in AI agents, robotics, or other frontier technology.

I’m exploring co-founder, founding COO/CBO, ecosystem, and commercial leadership roles where I can help shape the company and own execution.
