CEO of Aurora EOS. Advisor at Multicoin Capital. Creator of The Stablecoin Index. I am the CEO of Aurora EOS, a block producer for the EOS mainnet. Our goal is to drive long-term platform adoption by cultivating an engaged and informed community of EOS voters. I am also a strategic advisor at Multicoin Capital, a thesis-driven cryptofund focused on driving value for investors long-term. Joining as the first employee, I lead several research projects and contributed to the strategic direction of the firm. I have published a handful of in-depth, technical reports on high-profile crypto-projects to much acclaim and have earned recognition as a pillar head in the EOS commmunity, a leading smart contract platform. I also founded and run The Stablecoin Index, an open-source website for tracking stablecoin projects. Prior to Multicoin, I served as an associate producer at Decon, a creative agency based in New York City. During that time I worked on several commercial productions for clients including Google, Tanqueray, Geico, and the NFL. I later followed my passion for Mexican gastronomy, going on to study at Mexico’s Centro Culinario Ambrosía before becoming a chef de partie at Hartwood restaurant in Tulum, Mexico. I studied economics at Fordham University and wrote my senior thesis on bitcoin, stablecoins, and their uses in developing economies.
