Last week, I joined the long list of people laid off in crypto this year.
Still weird to say out loud.
I joined the ZeroLend team in January 2025, and over the last 1.5 years we went from stablecoins to memecoins to an ETH treasury play and eventually AI with OpenHuman.
I got to lead social + marketing through all of it.
Big shoutout to @senamakel@itsnotgaf @civilpoet @SontakkeAnkita and the entire team, grateful to have built alongside you all.
What Iโm taking forward: 5+ years of crypto experience, a deep love for crypto/AI-native storytelling, and the kind of perspective you only get from building through multiple cycles.
For now, Iโm focusing on trading, exploring AI, and rebuilding my personal brand again. All long overdue.
And yes, Iโm open to opportunities across crypto/AI marketing + social, both full-time and contract.
DMs are open. Reposts genuinely appreciated ๐ค
companies using AI know theyโre leaking proprietary knowledge into OpenAI and other LLMs through daily usage, but most are too overwhelmed to build private AI infrastructure
the real opportunity in AI exists in helping businesses deploy their own fine-tuned models and RAG systems efficiently so their internal data becomes a competitive moat instead of training data for everyone else
everyone on X seems to be more worried about Dubai than people of Dubai
no, the roads are not blocked
no, Burj Khalifa is not being evacuated
yes, the air space is shut as it should be
yes, there were sounds but these are sounds of interceptions, not explosions
if the same happened in any other country, i'd be shitting my pants right now
Dubai still feels very safe and at home
