In traditional finance, order books match buyers and sellers.
onchain, order books have a fatal flaw: state changes cost gas. If you have to pay a network fee just to list a trade, the system breaks.
We needed to replace human coordination with pure computation.
Hello everyone👋🏿, I’m the creator & founder of the ConsultRalph project. I built it as an AI-powered tool for consultants worldwide (EY, Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc) to do their research and complete work in hours instead of days, weeks and months. 💯🚀
I built an open-source McKinsey for people that don't have $2mil/yr for billable hours💼
Consultants can now collapse hours of research into 5/10 mins...
-> Generate deliverables (DOCX/PDF/CSV)
-> Market Analysis
-> Due Diligence & Competitive Intel

i write blockchain docs, ask annoying questions (before your users do), and make things make sense. 💅🏾
→ led docs for a DeFi protocol
→ built a knowledge base used by 200+ learners
if you need a technical writer who's not afraid to work with messy, evolving projects, i'm your girl!
thanks @savebaddies & @aixarizzo. this was really fun to do. ✨
Never accept a counteroffer—even if it’s a 100% hike.
Being in HR, I’ve seen this play out more times than you think.
A candidate I was hiring for was earning 100,000.
He got a new offer of 170,000, a solid jump.
But within 15 minutes of the offer letter hitting his inbox, he backed out.
His current company dangled a 190,000 counter-offer and he accepted it immediately.
Fast forward 4 months…
The same candidate messaged me again.
His company had laid him off and replaced him with a cheaper resource.
His message started with:
Hi sir, I’m really sorry… do you have any openings?
This is exactly why I keep saying this:
👉 A counter-offer is not a reward. It’s a strategy to buy time until they find someone cheaper.
👉 Loyalty doesn’t magically increase with money.
👉 If they valued you, they wouldn’t wait until your resignation to pay you fairly.
Please don’t fall for counter-offers. It looks like a win… until it isn’t.
Clients don’t care about your tech stack.
I’ve seen developers charging $10,000+ for apps built on Lovable.
The reason they get paid isn't the code, it's something less talked about.
Here is the reality of the high-ticket market: 🧵👇
If the only thing you’re learning is how to write code, you’re missing the point. 🧵
Its now news that AI writes mediocre code faster than you ever will and that’s okay because writing code was never the most valuable part of your skill as a software eng.
Here’s the reality:👇
You’re still using print(), fmt.Println(), console.log(), println!() statements to find bugs, aren’t you?
You have a world-class debugger sitting right in your IDE, yet you keep typing print("got here").
Here is why you do it and exactly when you need to stop. 🧵👇
My 2025 wrapped ✨
It’s that time of the year again… and what a year it’s been 🥹
Alright let’s go
- Turned 21
- Left my full time.
- Made close to $60k in revenue
- Saved like crazy
- Hit my very first $10k+ month 🥹 (October total revenue -$11,000)
-Closed an all inclusive design retainer of $6500/mo
- Rented my own space in school
- Built a dream workspace and room studio (something I’ve always wanted since I heard of tech 🥹)
- Started creating Talk head videos in same studio
-Same content creation led to me doing my first sponsored video for Chippercash
- Bought so many new gadgets and new devices
-Started a motion design studio @Addmotion_ that helped close almost up to $10k in revenue
-Was in a position to gift and help several of my family and friends
-Got my @framer expert badge on @contra
-Got my $10k badge on contra as well
-Learnt a bit of Rive
- Learnt and unlearnt so many new things concerning freelancing and running an agency
- Also ironically learnt that I might not necessarily want to scale as an agency 🤔
- Bought loads of new clothes too 😅
- I think the highlight for me was amidst everything… I gained clarity like never before concerning my career and where I’m heading to
Next year my goal is simple
- Build to scale and stop merely selling my time for money
- Focus more on the entrepreneurial side of tech
(I understand it now)
What a year, what a wrapped.
Thank you God 🙏
