Cryptocurrency founder & blockchain pioneer · Dubai
I’ve been building in crypto since 2014. That year I created DopeCoin, the 103rd coin ever listed on CoinMarketCap and one of the earliest meme coins anywhere. Since then I’ve founded SuperDoge, a charity token featured in Bloomberg and CNBC, an ad exchange that served over a billion impressions, and companies across payments and Web3.
Who I am
I started with one of the first meme coins in 2014, years before the rest of the market caught on. Since then I’ve built payment rails, an ad exchange that served over a billion impressions, and a charity token that moved real money to real causes on-chain. Five ventures, one throughline: see it early, build the real thing, ship it.
