Didn’t expect to be writing this, but i was affected by the recent layoffs at @coinbase@base
During my time at base, I had the chance to help grow the base ecosystem across southeast asia.
Some of the things i’m grateful to have been part of:
🔹Supporting founders and builders across SEA on Base
🔹Onboarding creators, communities, and new markets into the ecosystem
🔹Working with partners across Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and beyond to grow on-the-ground presence
🔹Involved in founder initiatives, community events, and builder gatherings across the region

Special shoutout to the APAC team @Nibel_eth , @angelinevivian_ , @davidandpassion , @0xmoonlight_ , @minseokk1m really grateful to have built alongside all of you 💙
This one came sudden, but i’m walking away thankful for the experience, the relationships, and how much i have grown through this chapter.
Now looking for my next opportunity.
If you’re building and need someone focused on growth, ecosystem expansion, and communities across asia, happy to chat.

@Nibel_eth@coinbase@base Thanks for taking me in and guiding me throughout my journey in Base APAC. You're one of the best leader that I have work with so far and hopping in the near future we can work together again 🫡🫡
I never thought I’d be writing this, but I’ve been affected by the recent layoffs at @coinbase and @base.
What started as just me slowly grew into something I’m incredibly proud of. From building @baseindo with a small group of vendors into a real team, to helping make Indonesia one of the top countries using the Base app, to supporting blockchain student communities and partnering with local accelerators to back our builders - this journey has meant everything to me.
I gave this role my all. I genuinely thought I’d be here for the next 3 to 5 years, so this came as a shock.
Still, I’m proud. Proud of the partnerships we built, the community we grew, and the impact we made for Base in Indonesia.
Huge thank you to @Nibel_eth for being there since day one, and to @XenBH and @jessepollak for welcoming me into the global growth team.
Working at Base has been one of the highlights of my career. I’ve had the chance to work alongside some of the smartest, most driven people I’ve ever met, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
This is sudden and I’m still processing it, but I’m ready for what’s next.
If you need someone scrappy, hands-on, and ready to wear multiple hats across growth - hit me up.
📧My DMs are open.
I know that no matter where the @base global growth team goes, they will always bleed blue
There's some amazing talent that were unfortunately let go from @baseapac, but they have helped build the foundation of what @base in Asia is today
Founders, builders, institutions on @base - drop me a DM if you need amazing talent on your team and I will help connect you
i honestly can’t believe i have to write this but i have been affected by the @coinbase layoffs
from hiring/scaling our growth team to onboarding content creators/traders to representing the company at conferences to creating written/video content to doing millions of impressions on socials to hosting spaces to leading communications with blockchain clubs to running the student track for our base batches accelerator program, i have been much more than a recruiter
i have given my all to @base so this really hurts
but what an opportunity has this been
i showed up everyday, gave 110%, and am truly proud of the brand i’ve built for myself and for the company
it’s been an absolute pleasure working with my manager @KQpewpew and recruitment team (@kael_base_eth, @0xBradyn, and @Blayne_base_eth)
as well as everyone i’ve hired (too many of you to name here) and everyone in the business i’ve partnered with
and last but not least @jessepollak and @XenBH
you have all provided me the opportunity to level up my skills and build an amazing team, and i couldn’t be more grateful
i’ll be personally reaching out to everyone to express my gratitude as i’ll truly miss working with all of you
now i’m going to do what i always do and stay optimistic especially because i’m leaving more skillful than i arrived
frankly it feels too sudden, but i am now seeking my next opportunity
if you are looking for a jack of all trades growth person/recruiter, i am your guy
dms are open
hey frens, very sad to share that i was affected by the recent 14% layoffs at @coinbase.
i’m leaving alongside incredibly talented colleagues who i've spent nearly everyday building with. we became a family through all the blood, sweat, and tears of everything we tackled together.
i joined @base right at the beginning of mainnet launch in august 2023.
during this time, i drove the growth of our community platforms, scaling our discord, reddit, x spaces, and livestreams to build deep user engagement.
but i was much more than just a community guy. as my past manager @wbnns put it, our small team operated like spec ops, wearing many hats and tackling complex issues as they surfaced. i managed cross-functional operations, nurtured key external partnerships, uplifted team members, and optimized processes by finding gaps and building seamless workflows.
i have grown exponentially during my time here. this hurts, as i truly hoped to stay at coinbase for the rest of my career, but i gave it my all and am walking away profoundly grateful for this chapter.
thank you to the leaders who guided me, the amazing team that supported me, and the passionate community members i've had the honor of connecting with.
i am now actively seeking my next opportunity. if your team needs a versatile operator who specializes in community growth, cross-functional operations, and bridging gaps to make teams run flawlessly, i would love to connect.
dms are open :).
