BIO
I previously co-founded Trusu (YC W17), which exited in 2019. Undergrad at Stanford. I’ve spent most of my career building around Asia–Latin America trade, and now focusing on cross-border payments, stablecoins, and financial infrastructure, with experience scaling startups and expanding across international markets.
