A Little About Me

I'm a former global business English coach turned web3 technical writer with a unique story and a burning passion for blockchain technology. My journey into the tech world started unexpectedly when I was helping a client solve a problem and stumbled upon the fascinating world of programming. It didn't take long before I was completely hooked, especially on the revolutionary potential of web3.

Like many, I faced significant challenges when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. My business, which I had poured my heart and soul into, was severely impacted. But rather than let this setback define me, I decided to seize the opportunity to pivot and turn my newfound passion into a career.

Since then, I've immersed myself in the world of web3 development, diving deep into blockchain technology and smart contracts. Today, I focus on producing in-depth technical content and conducting research on emerging technologies in the Web3 space. My work includes creating detailed explainers, documentation, and educational resources that empower both developers and non-technical audiences to engage with decentralized systems. I am excited to collaborate with innovative teams to build content that drives forward the understanding and development of the decentralized web.

Now, I'm on the lookout for exciting opportunities to bring my unique perspective and dedication to a forward-thinking team. Let's build something amazing together!
