I’m Nick, a Web3 Research and Ecosystem Lead focused on DePIN, DeVIN and High-Throughput Blockchains. I’ve spent the past 4 years working in Web3 tracking the emergence of the DePIN/DeVIN sectors and thier affects in legacy industries whom are ripe for disruption. I have experience with non-technical roles (Business Development, Partnerships, Financial Markets, Due Diligence) as well as technical roles (Development, Compute Infrastructure, Analytics), and I am deeply committed to contributing to the advancement of Web3 technology and its potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the digital world in a more open, transparent, and free way.
