Is this you, Duck?

After the recent acquisition of @nucleusearn I’m excited to join @paxoslabs as part of the Growth + DeFi team! A quick backstory on the journey that got me here alongside the rest of my team 👇 I'm a recent Math Econ grad from @Penn ('25), where I dove headfirst into crypto leading Governance initiatives @franklin_dao from a first principles perspective in DAOs like @UniswapFND, Compound and @aave. What started as curiosity about DeFi, DAOs, coordination, and the game theory around it all turned into building @nucleusearn with my colleagues and exploring early ecosystems like @HyperliquidX. During this time we honed our skills, built our network, and worked on a lot of interesting primitives helping shape our approach to current initiatives like providing tokenized yield offerings for users and bootstrapping liquidity for these offerings to support DeFi utility. Some of the work I’m most proud of on our end is @looping_col Along this journey we definitely noticed some gaps. Notably: enterprises need reliable, compliant infrastructure to truly participate without the risks. That's why I'm thrilled to be building with @paxoslabs! @paxoslabs is bringing institutional-grade infrastructure to market, giving platforms the tools to issue their own stablecoins, tap into compliant DeFi markets, and unlock new revenue streams with confidence. Backed by @Paxos’s $120B+ track record, @paxoslabs is here to help enterprises move beyond access to full onchain financial experiences. Huge shoutout to the team that helps to make it all happen: @JunKim831 @ChundaMcCain @dashanmccain @0x_carson @jpickett713 @mroddy5280 @0xTrojanhorse @anjaliegeorge and all others who are too busy building to be posting. I'll be focused on driving growth initiatives in DeFi: - Partnering with platforms to integrate our tools - Exploring new markets and primitives like @HyperliquidX - Turning complex ideas into actionable strategies that create real value.
