Bio

I'm passionate about blockchain & Web3.0 technologies because they have the potential bring much more fairness & freedom to society. Currently, I'm focused on leading the PM group at ChainSafe: a blockchain research & development firm. Working on the bleeding edge has been a furious exercise in learning & adapting! I also volunteer with the Toronto Distress Center & Canada Suicide Prevention Services. This allows me to give back to society in a way that's meaningful to me while also developing my Active Listening skills; something I'm very passionate about. In fact, I've given a couple of talks to help others develop their Active Listening skills. Outside of blockchain & volunteering, I'm extremely passionate about meditation & consciousness (completed two Vipassana, 10-day silent meditation, courses so far), travel (backpacked for 6 months in 2017), adventurous outdoor activities like snowboarding, scuba diving, & hiking, and Burning Man (been three times and counting). While it may be unorthodox to list hobbies on a LinkedIn profile, my intention is to cultivate relationships that are deeper and more meaningful than typical (often transactional) professional connections. Also, these experiences have had a major influence on the personal qualities that I'm proud to bring to work everyday; in essence, they've made me who I am. If anything about my profile interests you, please do reach out. I would love to connect with eager & compassionate individuals in Toronto and our global community. This journey has already led to so many meaningful relationships and adventures, so I'm excited to see what the future brings!
