I’m a venture builder, investor and quant based in San Francisco and Singapore. I invest and operate at the same time, and I can read the code.

I co-founded LN Exchange, financial infrastructure for Bitcoin that grew to 5,000+ weekly active users and US$30M+ in daily volume within its first year, and has since exited. Before that I traded my own book at ROC Trading, finishing in the top 20 of the Hyperliquid leaderboard in 2024, and was a founding member of Polkastarter, where I built the APAC franchise and conducted Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) for 100+ early-stage ventures, raising a total of US$30M+.

Earlier, I managed a portfolio at Three Arrows Capital, did alpha research for WorldQuant, and underwrote US$1B+ in transactions as an associate at Blackstone.

Currently building OpenApps.
