Hi, I'm
I have been doing digital marketing since I was 13.
Engineer → crypto analyst → founding marketer. I write code, ship products, and grow brands — most recently from zero to a $50M+ brand.
2008
Age 13. Clicking thousands of ads. The dollar was small; the obsession was not.
2009
Got paid to post on forums and write blog posts.
2010
Ran front-page operations for 50+ clients. 20+ front-page hits.
2011–2012
Helped brands scale their Google+, Facebook, and Twitter strategy. (RIP Google+.)
2013–2017
ACM ICPC regionals. Graduated as the #1 highest-placed student of the batch, across all branches.
2017–2018
Built backend systems at India's ride-hailing unicorn.
2018
Left a comfortable SDE job because blockchain was obviously the most interesting thing on the internet.
2018–2020
Traveled across India, writing. Top analyst at CryptoSlate; contributor at CryptoBriefing and 8BTC (China).
2020–2021
Content & social at a digital-asset custody startup that raised $100M+. First in-house marketing role.
2021–2025
First employee. Took the brand from zero to $50M+.
2025–2026
China, USA, Spiti Valley, Malaysia, Singapore. Built an affiliate site to $10,000+ in referrals with SEO + AEO. Huge Claude bills.
2021–2025
Founding marketer · first employee
Joined a cross-chain infrastructure protocol as employee #1, before there was a brand, a community, or a user.
Owned marketing end to end for four years: positioning, content, social, community, launch campaigns, and ecosystem communications — through a full market cycle.
2025–2026
Solo side project · SEO + AEO
Built an affiliate guide site for Network School from scratch during a sabbatical: keyword research, content, structured data, and answer-engine optimization so LLMs cite it too.
Ranked, referred, and got paid — a one-person growth loop with code, content, and distribution all mine.
2018–2020
Freelance analyst & writer
Quit an SDE job to write about crypto full-time, traveling across India between deadlines. Became a top analyst at CryptoSlate and contributed to CryptoBriefing and 8BTC (China).
That body of work led to Qredo ($100M+ raised), running content and social — the bridge from writing about the industry to marketing inside it.
AI analyst panel for 370+ Indian IPO stocks — ten legendary investor personas (Buffett, Munger, Graham…) score every listing.

The guide to Network School. Affiliate site ranked with SEO + AEO — $10,000+ in referrals and counting.

Yes, actually technical:
Growth and marketing roles at AI or FinTech companies. I do performance, product-led growth, content, and growth leadership — and I can read your codebase.
