TL;DR: 19, studying biomedical science. By day: rethinking how we produce nutritious food and supporting nutritional health in older adults. By night: writing about stablecoins and web3 infra for a bunch of protocols.
I'm a 19-year-old freshman @ Deakin University studying biomedical science, majoring in environmental health.
Agriculture & food systems
I've always been drawn to the land. For a little over two months, before heading off to uni, I was studying agriculture at Northern Lodge, learning as much as I could on cropping, cattle management and ag machinery.
Traditional agriculture is on its way to having a slow and painful death. With environmental changes/degradation, increasing water scarcity and fuel/input costs, it's becoming unsustainable. Though the breakthrough of autonomous agricultural robotics and AI is exciting, the way we farm is still fundamentally unchanged.
Passionate about:
- nutritional health (and deficiencies) in ageing adults, with a focus on farmer and rural health and GI/bowel diseases.
- hyper-efficient production of horticultural crops with minimal resources through vertical farming, agri-biotech and precision fermentation to ensure Australian food security.
Blockchain infrastructure & stablecoin design
Since 2023, I've been collaborating with web3 protocols and founders on technical marketing focused on infra and stables — here's a non-exhaustive list of public writing. I also run and write Stablecoin Musings, a newsletter on policies around stablecoins, CBDCs and related FMIs.
Writing/written for: Chainstack, CoinGecko, Dewhales Capital, Gelato Network, Shoal Research, ReyaChain, Community Labs, 2077 Research, and more.
In a past life, I worked on crypto Anti-Money Laundering (AML)/Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) cases.
Other things
When I get time to spare, I enjoy road and gravel cycling, playing the bowlback mandolin, bushwalking, amongst other things.
