I'm a Board Member of the Optimism Foundation, where I support scaling access to Ethereum. I serve as Director of The Graph Foundation, enabling access to APIs and blockchain data. If you can't find me, I'm probably playing onchain or painting.

I was awarded Forbes 30 under 30 in 2023. One time Elon stole my meme so I sold it as an NFT. Previously I worked with crypto startups like the Ethereum Foundation, MolochDAO and OmiseGO. Before defecting to crypto, I was a management consultant at A.T. Kearney, specializing in financial services.

I graduated from Ivey Business School/Western University, with a focus on Global Economics and Spanish. I'm passionate about languages; speaking English, Russian, Spanish and French - but my favorite tongue is comedy.

I was born in Canada and raised by Russians. As a child, I frequented art galleries, built LEGO kingdoms and camped in the great Canadian outdoors.
