Founder · Full-stack engineer
Apeguru
I build on-chain businesses.
And the teams behind them.
I’m a founder and full-stack engineer with a background in marketing. I co-founded ApeSwap, co-authored ERC-5725, and built the first version of ApeBond’s bond protocol.
Today, I’m focused on Endure Network as co-founder and CTO.
Current focus
Now building Endure Network
Financial risk models should earn trust through results. At Endure Network, we’re building infrastructure that lets them compete and measures them against real outcomes.

Leadership
Building beyond the code
I’ve helped scale a team from five to forty and navigate years of bear markets. Some of the people I build with today are the same people I came through those years with.
My work spans smart contracts, backend systems, and the applications people use. But building the product is only part of the job. Bringing together people you trust, and building something worth staying for, matters just as much to me.
Away from the keyboard
A life built around curiosity.
I travel with a laptop and a second monitor. Away from them, you’ll usually find me training Muay Thai, hiking, or practicing yoga.
I studied marketing because I wanted to build businesses. Programming was a passion long before it became my work. I’ve spent my career bringing the two together.
Exploring crypto since 2017. Building full-time as a blockchain developer since 2020.

Always interested in meeting people building something worthwhile.
I also invest selectively in early-stage teams.
