About
I have spent 10+ years helping IT companies — mostly in blockchain and Web3 — grow their business: partnerships, go-to-market, community and brand.
Today I co-run Savant.chat, where we are building an autonomous senior-level security auditor: an AI system that finds vulnerabilities in any code — from Solidity, Vyper and Rust smart contracts to any other software — before attackers do. I lead business development — partnerships, enterprise accounts and investor relations.
