@bitwise is about to take off, and I’m here to help build the team that powers their business.
Compounding momentum for years, Bitwise is now one of the largest crypto asset managers, with over $12B in AUM and fresh off a $70M raise from top-tier investors. With regulation easing and real traction in the market, it’s time to double down and grow the engineering team.
We’re starting with a Backend Software Engineer role in New York City.
You’ll work directly with the CTO (@hongkim__) and other Senior Engineers (@arberx_ + @hoanhan101) to rebuild the jobs infrastructure stack that powers Bitwise’s core systems. High-impact work, small team, strong product, no egos. More roles across the stack are on the way.
I’ve helped hundreds navigate careers in crypto and HFT. Bitwise stands out — for its mission, its people, and the timing. If you or someone you know is ready to help shape crypto’s next chapter, DM me.
Let’s build together at Bitwise.
had fun filling the solutions and devrel roles at @celestia
now it's on to @bitwise to help them hire engineers

who the fuck makes revenue here? so much talk and no results
even backed defi projects are doing less fees than I’ve produced in the trailing 30 day period doing a manual service I’ve tried to productize that no one wants to invest in but everyone is asking for
maddening to watch people burn money they don’t deserve

Talked to a top crypto VC today and most of their teams are looking for DevRel folks.
I’ll say it again, DevRel is and will be the hottest job in crypto.

Real talent isn’t going to beg to join your team.
Most talented people aren’t looking for jobs until someone approaches them.
Pursue or miss out.

Today is my last day @ConsenSysMesh. While I am excited about what's next, I am forever grateful for the opportunities I was presented with and the lovely people I met along the way.

During DeFi Summer, I realized I wanted to work full-time in crypto. I used @zapper_fi to try every protocol and naturally accrued a beefy @DegenScore.
Eventually, that score helped me stand out and land my first full-time role as Head of Talent at @ConsensysMesh.
Today, I'm resurrecting the OG onchain score with the first of many new contests we're running on @interestedfyi.
The goal is simple: bring more people onchain and help them become more crypto-native in ways that matter.

Progress 15 days after stealth launching Hypesino as a mini app on Farcaster, where few have ever interacted with Hyperliquid or the HyperEVM.
13,660 games played✅
813 HYPE ($38,341 USD) in volume✅
49 HYPE ($2,310 USD) in fees generated✅
405 unique users with a transaction✅
17,700 transactions completed✅
1st consumer app on HyperEVM✅
Next, we are implementing Privy along with a few other solutions to get web + mobile live for people outside of Farcaster.
When that happens, I'll be more active here. Until then, I'm continuing to drive momentum on the purple app.
Cheers all
just hit 10,000 games processed and 500 HYPE in volume as a mini app on farcaster.
been a bit quite here since we don't have web + mobile ready. that'll change soon so we can get more people in to play with us.

Early in my crypto career I asked someone for a job via cold DM. They instantly told me to fuck off and blocked me
Fast forward 4 years when they need something from me and forget they blocked me, I approached the convo with open arms. Had a great call and invited them to my telegram chat. I’m still blocked and they don’t know but I do.
Moral of the story, just coz you can get just desserts doesn’t mean you have to.

Perhaps some day those in leadership roles will realign with the community but for now, I am out
Deep down, I truly hope recruiting succeeds
Good luck

My first piece just dropped: "Is Anything Still Onchain?"
Deciphering my take on the evolution of 'onchain' and how it reflects/parallels web paradigms throughout the years - from physical connections to trust networks (and maybe back again).

Wrapped another week. Brought another 17 users onchain using @privy_io. Hit 16853 attestations using @eas_eth on @Optimism. Moved to NY.
Thank you for all the support. Excited for this upcoming week.
Another week in the books. Another 17 people brought onchain using @privy_io . Another +3K onchain attestations using @eas_eth on @Optimism.
Next week, we'll be launching our first contest giving you the chance to flex your @DegenScore for rewards.
Excited to still be building on Ethereum. See you all next week.

After all this time, I’m officially an onchain builder.
Coming to production and mainnet soon.
After close to 3000 days onchain, I'm about to become an onchain builder.
We just produced our first official test attestation on @Optimism testnet using @eas_eth.
Extremely excited that @interestedfyi will be onchain starting next week.
Appreciate all the support along the way, I'm optimistic AF 🔴_🔴

We've just rolled out an exciting update where you can now link your wallets to showcase your onchain identity.
Start flexing your crypto credentials with @poapxyz and much more coming soon.
Next, we're revolutionizing how you collect endorsements. Your identity should go where you want it.
Stay tuned! 2025 is going to be huge for us!
You can now connect your personal wallet(s) to your @interestedfyi accounts using @privy_io
Adding your addresses will allow them to be recipients of your onchain endorsements
This allows you to build reputation and bring it with you anywhere

@PEEPLEDAO is simple.
- Recruiters have the alpha VCs need to invest
- Recruiters fill the jobs after said investment comes in
- Recruiters find the next talented person/team to invest in
- Recruiters rinse and repeat
Now that's a DAO. Invest in us or we won't invest in you.

Posted this rant ~1 year ago.
Crypto teams haven't learned. Still lowballing Staff-level talent with junior rates they wouldn't take home themselves.
This is why i built the @interestedfyi salary tool: so you can offer accurate market rates and not look dumb in front of top talent.

We beat a firm to an intro and they tried telling our client the candidate would take 30K less than their ask.

anyone hiring take a look at @clairekart feed
she’s actively interviewing her audience with pointed questions to gather signal and select from the crowd
your next hire isn’t in an application pile, they’re in your audience waiting to engage with you

I’m a solo “non technical” founder who has been here for +1year.
Now, I manage a team of 4-8 on any given day.
Its probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done but I keep waking up excited to do it.
