About
I am a highly skilled and experienced professional with a diverse background in Civil Engineering and Web3. With over 6 years of experience in the Infrastructure and Land Development sectors, I have a deep understanding of the Civil Engineering industry and a proven track record of success in delivering projects on time and on budget. Additionally, I have over 3 years of experience in the Web3 world, where I have served as a Consultant, Advisor, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Investment at a Venture Capital firm.
I possess a unique combination of technical expertise, business acumen and leadership skills, which allowed me to excel in both the Civil Engineering and Web3 industries. My deep understanding of blockchain technology and token economics, as well as my product design and monetization skills, sets me apart from others in the industry. I am an ENFJ-A personality, which means I have great leadership skills and a high emotional IQ. My strong Business Development and Client Relationship Management skills, as well as my effective Project Management skills, allowed me to excel in both industries.
I am an analytical and detail-oriented professional with advanced mathematical skills and proficiency in data analytics. My exceptional marketing and PR skills, coupled with my excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, make me a valuable asset to any team. I am process and outcome driven, proactive problem solver with a proven track record of success in multiple industries. I have a strong integrity, commitment, and drive to succeed, and I am a self-motivated and proactive individual who can work autonomously.
My experience in Project Management, Senior and Executive Management roles has honed my decision-making skills and ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines. I am a strong public speaker, having spoken in parliament multiple times in front of key officials and being interviewed live on TV to speak on social and technology issues. I am an extremely capable multi-tasker with outstanding attention to detail, a proven team player and an organized individual who can see projects through to completion.
But my biggest accomplishment and my most favourite role is that I am a father of 2 amazing children! That is my real drive in life! (And Lord of the Rings).

You're investing in blockchain assets. Are you prepared for the underestimated risks?
The best thing to do is to invest in the projects you understand truly. If you understand Bitcoin and nothing else, invest in that only. If you don't understand a meme, you don't understand a piece of tech or a new token, best to leave it alone and avoid falling for the hype you see online. If people online are promoting a random token, they are likely finding more buyers to sell their tokens on. Don't fall for hype - invest in what you understand in only. If it makes no sense, leave it.

Activities and Societies: Did AS & A level maths, English, history, Latin and economics. I was on the chess team, basketball team, soccer team, debating team and rowing team.
The best thing I ever did in high school was take Latin for 3 years. It improved my English grammar so much that it has benefited me in every job I have worked in!
