I lead the gaming team at Delphi Digital where we invest, research, and incubate exceptional projects on the frontiers of crypto.
Prior to that, I dropped out of a computer science and philosophy degree to set up a crypto venture fund called Azar Capital.
This is a place on the internet where I put things that I find interesting. The hope is that those things might also resonate with other people—a kind of digital serendipity perhaps.
