About
I'm a Developer Relations leader with 6 years across MetaMask, Web3Auth, and Magic, specializing in wallet connectivity, agentic wallets, and AI-ready developer documentation. At MetaMask, I own go-to-market for MetaMask Connect and Agent Wallet, and lead SEO and GEO for the MetaMask developer docs.
Previously, I built and led Developer Relations at Web3Auth (acquired by Consensys), tripling SDK adoption in six months. I'm a hands-on builder, keynote speaker, and active DeFi trader who ships the apps, demos, and events behind every launch.
Outside of work, you'll find me cooking up great food, especially Biryani, and exploring great coffee and tea in Dubai, UAE. Connect with me to talk Web3, AI agents, open source, or swap recipes and brewing recommendations!
