Infrastructure Operator & Ecosystem Coordinator

I run consensus infrastructure and coordinate across validator networks, governance bodies, and protocol teams. I also represent projects publicly—moderating panels, speaking on staking and governance, and translating technical work for institutional audiences.

About

I work at the intersection of blockchain infrastructure operations and ecosystem coordination. My background spans running proof-of-stake nodes, building stakeholder relationships at industry events, and facilitating technical discussions for institutional and regulatory audiences.

I've moderated panels at international conferences, contributed to validator ecosystem programmes, and supported organisations in translating infrastructure work into clear, credible communication. I focus on building durable systems, maintaining operational reliability, and fostering trust across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Focus areas

  • — Proof-of-stake infrastructure operations and validator coordination
  • — Governance frameworks, staking economics, and institutional engagement
  • — Conference representation, panel moderation, and technical translation

What DeFi Needs to Grow Up

Panel Moderation, Cosmoverse 2025

Moderated a senior-level discussion on what decentralised finance needs to become reliable, institution-ready infrastructure. The panel explored regulatory clarity, infrastructure standards, governance maturity, and user experience—bridging perspectives from builders, institutions, and everyday users. We focused on actionable steps for adoption without sacrificing decentralisation.
