Web3 Operations, GTM & BD | AI Automation & Solutions Architect

For over a decade, I've operated at the intersection of crypto markets, product strategy, business development, and technical execution. I've led a $2.4M single-day NFT launch and, with my co-founder, raised $500K at a $4M valuation. Today, I also architect AI-agent and automation systems. Historically, I sourced my work exclusively through a high-trust network of industry builders. I bring that experience to Upwork. My Track Record: FarmDash (Founder & Lead Architect): Designed and shipped FarmDash in under two months. I lead architecture for a live, non-custodial DeFi intelligence platform with MCP tools, OpenClaw skills, REST APIs, SDKs, and simulation-first agent workflows. I direct AI-assisted implementation, testing, and releases across wallet authorization, execution policies, payments, idempotency, and audit logging. Pacific Yew Automations (Founder & Lead Systems Architect): Founded a B2B automation agency for trades, clinics, and service businesses. I designed and directed development of an AI-assisted BDR system for prospect research, qualification, outreach sequencing, and approval-controlled workflows, with Supabase/PostgreSQL state and duplicate prevention. The agency designs integrations for Jobber, ServiceTitan, HubSpot, Attio, QuickBooks, and Sage. LeapN (BD & GTM Director): Led GTM and business development, directing community, social media, and creative teams. I secured partnerships including Method Man's MEFaverse and led the Genesis NFT campaign, which sold out in one day for $2.4M. I grew the project's Twitter following from roughly 1,200 to over 24,000 and built influencer/KOL and partner pipelines. Purity Sniper Bot (Co-Founder & Strategic Lead): Co-founded the DeFi trading venture and led operations, BD, commercial strategy, and investor relations. My co-founder and I raised $500K - $250K from IBC Capital and $250K from approximately nine angels - at a $4M investor-agreed valuation. Together, we defined product direction and the roadmap. Trade Engine (Strategic Advisor): Advised TradFi executives entering Web3 on fundraising, positioning, BD, and partnerships. The company was acquired for $2.5M during my engagement. EMG Telecom (Blockchain Forensics Investigator): Retained to investigate a token-presale theft dispute. I performed the on-chain investigation using Breadcrumbs, block explorers, multi-chain transaction tracing, wallet clustering, and mixer heuristics, and prepared forensic findings and a PR report for the CEO's public response. The Experience Behind the Metrics: My crypto-native journey began in 2013 as an early miner and spot trader. This evolved into full-time derivatives trading (2017-2022), developing proprietary risk-management frameworks and deep knowledge of market structure, liquidity, and psychology across multiple cycles. I brought that mindset into venture building, combining BD, GTM, influencer partnerships, and team leadership with technical architecture. I define requirements, direct AI coding agents, evaluate their work, and oversee testing and releases. I don't just write pitch decks and hand them off; I get in the trenches and build the machine alongside the team. Technical Stack: AI Agent Orchestration (MCP, OpenClaw, LangGraph); LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter); Automation (n8n, Make, Zapier); Python; TypeScript / Node.js / React / Next.js; CRM & Accounting APIs; Telegram / Discord / WhatsApp Bots; Browser & GraphQL Automation (Playwright); On-Chain Forensics; Supabase / PostgreSQL / Redis. My Services & Deliverables: 1. Venture Strategy, BD & GTM Execution For founders looking to launch or scale. Deliverables: Investor-Ready Pitch Decks, GTM Roadmaps, Partnership Negotiation, Influencer/KOL & Partner Pipelines, Investor Outreach, Growth Strategy, Team & Community Management. 2. AI Automation & Agentic Infrastructure For agent and integration projects. Deliverables: MCP Servers, OpenClaw Skills, LangGraph Orchestration, LLM APIs, Custom API Endpoints, CRM/Accounting Integrations, Browser/GraphQL Workflows, Human Approval Gates, AI-Assisted Implementation Oversight. 3. On-Chain Intelligence & Risk Assessment For investors needing forensic analysis. Deliverables: Pre-Investment Due Diligence, On-Chain Investigations, Wallet Tracking & Security Reviews, Competitor Architecture Analysis. 4. Technical Product Management & Operations For teams bridging the boardroom and codebase. Deliverables: Agile Workflows, Technical Specifications, Cross-Functional Leadership, Infrastructure Audits, Tokenomics Modeling, Testing & Release Coordination. I am selective with the projects I take on. If you lead a serious project and need a partner with a record of multi-million-dollar launches and venture funding - who can also build the machine that delivers it - I invite you to reach out for an introductory call.
