About

Background & Education

I’m a Web3 researcher, community builder, and early-stage investor with 7+ years of hands-on experience in the crypto ecosystem. I specialize in discovering high-potential projects early, building engaged communities, and producing educational content that brings people into Web3.

Over the years I’ve worked with top protocols including Astar Network, Polygon, Mina Protocol, and Starknet — managing communities, running campaigns, organizing IRL events, and contributing to governance.

I’m a co-founder and former president of Dokuz Eylül University Blockchain Club, where I organized multiple Ethereum Foundation and Starkware-supported events.

My focus areas include Stablecoins & Payments, DeFi, early-stage infrastructure, governance, and ecosystem growth.
