growth lead
who builds
// the tools too.

Now Growth Lead at Monorail, the swap aggregator on Monad, running campaigns built from real onchain data. Before that: 5+ years across L1 blockchains, perp DEXs, prediction markets, and DeFi. I have led a mainnet narrative, driven 70K+ signups, onboarded 2,500+ traders, and build the AI systems that run my own desk.

I came into crypto in 2016 as a trader, not as a marketer looking for a niche. That matters because I learned markets from the inside first. Before Web3 became the full-time job, it was the thing I kept coming back to after work: whitepapers, launches, token mechanics, and the question of why some protocols get traction while others stay intellectually interesting and commercially ignored.

"Most Web3 marketing problems are adoption problems in disguise."

By 2021 I made the full jump. Since then I've worked across L1 infrastructure, perp DEXs, prediction markets, and DeFi. At Autonity I helped shape the mainnet narrative and ran Forecastathon across four seasons with 2,500+ traders and a 300,000 NTN prize pool. At RFX Exchange I drove 70K+ closed alpha signups on zkSync and built a 30+ KOL program from scratch. At Relative Finance I grew the community to 18K+. At Mozaic Finance I led a four-person marketing team.

Since mid-2026 I run growth at Monorail, the swap aggregator on Monad, as a one-person growth function. The work is campaigns built from real onchain data: the Journey campaign turns any wallet's history across Monad protocols into a story people run on themselves, and the Monad Open trading competition sends its winner to Singapore. No quest farming, no mystery boxes, no numbers that cannot be verified on chain.

The vision stays simple: automate the repetitive parts of marketing without automating taste, judgment, or point of view. Competitor Move Monitor handles market watching. AI Content Machine turns one brief into voice-safe content. The newest layer is Claude agent skills: my growth playbooks, writing voice, onchain intel pipelines, and daily ecosystem digests packaged as software an AI agent runs every day. The goal is not "AI marketing." The goal is freeing up more time for decisions that actually require a human brain.

Outside work, I am a musician, a chronic reader of things I probably should not start at 11 PM, and someone who can justify stand-up comedy specials and long podcast rabbit holes as "research" with a straight face. Sometimes that is even true.

MonorailGrowth Lead
Run growth solo for the swap aggregator on Monad. Built the Journey campaign, which turns any wallet's onchain history into a shareable travel record across Monad protocols, and the Monad Open trading competition, a five-day leaderboard race that flies its winner to Singapore. Every campaign runs on verifiable chain data, community unlocks with visible progress, and tooling I build myself.
challenge
Make one swap aggregator the product Monad traders recognize themselves in, with a team of one.
move
Turned real wallet histories into campaigns people run on themselves, and built an AI agent stack to operate like a full growth team.
result
A running campaign engine: Journey Season 1 across weekly protocol stops, a live trading comp, and a season finale at Monad Open in Singapore.

AutonityMarketing Lead
Helped shape the mainnet narrative for an L1 blockchain and turned Forecastathon into a live trader-acquisition engine across four seasons. Recruited Robin Hanson and Corey Hoffstein as advisors, shipped the competition site, and used the product itself as growth infrastructure.
challenge
Make a technically strong L1 feel relevant to traders and ecosystem participants.
move
Turned Forecastathon into a live acquisition loop instead of treating it like a one-off campaign.
result
2,500+ traders onboarded across four seasons with a stronger narrative around the network.

Drove 70K+ closed alpha signups for a zkSync perp DEX and built the KOL motion from zero. Set up outreach, partner ops, and attribution so growth was measurable instead of vibes-based.
challenge
Closed alpha growth for a perp DEX where hype alone was not enough to sustain pipeline quality.
move
Built the KOL engine, outreach system, and attribution layer together instead of as separate motions.
result
70K+ signups and a partner program with 30+ KOL relationships built from scratch.

10 live · operator leverage for marketing work

I do not build tools for the sake of saying I build tools. I build them when a marketing problem is repeated, high-friction, and too important to leave to spreadsheets and tab overload. These systems now act as operating leverage for how I work.

01/ agent-skills
● IN PRODUCTION

A growth desk that runs on Claude agent skills

The newest layer of the stack, and the one doing real work at Monorail every day: my playbooks packaged as Claude agent skills. A growth-engine skill produces a full engagement package for any Web3 project. A writing-voice skill keeps every draft sounding like me, gated by anti-slop checks. Campaign, digest, and outreach skills handle ecosystem monitoring, onchain whale mapping, and DM-ready target packs.

  • Growth-engine skill: competitor recon, creator plans, funnel teardowns on demand
  • Daily Monad ecosystem digest, scraped, classified, delivered to Telegram
  • Onchain whale intel: Dune pipelines to identity-mapped outreach packs
  • Voice and campaign skills with hard anti-AI-slop quality gates

Vet KOLs like a quant, not a fan

KOLs are the most expensive, least measured channel in crypto. This engine scores X influencers across every Web3 vertical, from perps and lending to RWA and prediction markets, on engagement authenticity, niche fit, and shill density. Then ref-link attribution turns every placement into CAC per KOL.

  • 14-vertical taxonomy: perps, DeFi, lending, RWA, stablecoins, and more
  • Authenticity, niche-fit, and shill-density scoring with Claude analysis
  • Ref links per placement, clicks to signups to activations to CAC
  • Pay-per-use X API, third-party, or zero-cost CSV data paths

Scale content without sounding synthetic

Built for Web3 and AI-first brands that want scale without sounding like ChatGPT. One brief becomes LinkedIn long-form, LinkedIn short, X thread, and X single tweet, all checked against a 25-pattern quality gate before they ship.

  • Voice calibration, so posts sound like a specific human
  • 25-pattern humanizer with auto-rewrite on failure
  • Narrative fast-path, reaction post in 30 seconds
  • RSS brief queue, review dashboard, Buffer integration

Generate paid creative without the agency lag

Built for teams that need ad creative output without turning the process into a week of briefs, feedback loops, and version chaos. It generates copy, visual assets, pairings, and exports that are already shaped around performance workflow.

  • Strategic brief, copy variations, and visual generation in one pipeline
  • X, LinkedIn, Meta, and Google RSA support
  • Compliance linting, slop scoring, and creative pairing
  • ZIP export, CSV export, and Buffer-ready workflow

See competitor moves before your team reacts late

When a competitor ships, funds, partners, or changes message, most teams find out late and react from screenshots. This tool turns that into a real alert with context, signal score, and a recommended response.

  • Real-time news monitoring via Google News RSS
  • AI batch-filters noise from signal in one API call
  • "What this means for you" analysis per alert
  • /add /remove /check /pause /status from Telegram

Catch the narrative window while it still matters

Tracks narrative windows while they are still usable from a marketing perspective. It ranks what matters, how urgent it is, and drafts the first response before the window closes.

  • 11 RSS sources ranked by recency + authority tier
  • AI scores + generates 3 content formats per alert
  • Quiet hours, manual scan, alert history

Get the market brief before the meeting starts

If you read enough of my writing, the through-line is pretty consistent: most teams do not have an awareness problem, they have an articulation and adoption problem. These are the arguments I keep coming back to because they show up in real work.

  • 01What founders get wrong about growth marketing
  • 02DeFi tactics that actually move TVL and users
  • 03Where Web3 marketing confuses attention with adoption
  • 04AI tools that replace analyst and content-ops work
  • 05What it really takes to launch and sustain a mainnet
  • 06Turning raw onchain data into campaigns people see themselves in
