Web3 and Fintech Leader

I am a dynamic Web3 and fintech leader with over 7 years of experience bridging blockchain technology, decentralized finance (DeFi) education, and community growth. I have a proven track record in developer relations, content strategy, and ecosystem partnerships that drive user adoption and market expansion. My expertise combines deep technical knowledge in Java, Python, smart contracts, and blockchain infrastructure with strong business acumen in fintech product development and client success management.

Passionate about making decentralized finance accessible, I focus on scalable education, content creation, and strategic storytelling, often recognized as “The DeFi Professor.” I have co-founded Beacon DeFi LLC, a platform dedicated to user-friendly blockchain literacy and DeFi onboarding, where I lead business development, partnerships, and content creation.

In my role as Director of Client Success at Yieldfarming.com / Truffle Ventures, I designed and scaled a client-success and coaching program that grew a premium investor community to over 1,500 members. I managed content strategy and livestream education, reaching tens of thousands of viewers, while mentoring coaches and building operational processes.

As an adjunct professor at Bellevue University, I teach and mentor students in programming, databases, and enterprise architecture with an emphasis on blockchain applications in fintech. I supervise capstone projects integrating fintech APIs and decentralized data systems to prepare graduates for industry deployment.

Previously, I worked as a Systems Analyst at CDS Global Inc., modernizing legacy payment processing systems and enhancing security and scalability in compliance with fintech standards. I also served as a Programmer Analyst II at Bellevue University, leading enterprise software automation and mentoring junior developers.

My technical stack includes Java, Solidity, JavaScript, Python, SQL, and frameworks such as Spring Boot, React, and Node.js. I am experienced with blockchain ecosystems including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Cosmos IBC, and BTC Layer 2 solutions. I am skilled in APIs, microservices, Docker, CI/CD, and cloud infrastructure, and actively contribute to community growth and developer relations within the crypto ecosystem.
