I research how banks, market infrastructure and regulators in Asia could use Ethereum, and write it up for the people who have to decide.
I write The Monsoon Ledger, a weekly on policy, regulation and Ethereum across Asian finance, and was lead researcher on Ethereum and Indian Institutional Finance for ETHIndia. My focus is tokenisation, settlement and verification in India, Singapore and Hong Kong.
I spent twenty years inside large institutions and four years inside Ethereum. Strategy and analytics roles at Deloitte and Medallia taught me how institutions evaluate and adopt technology. Allocating and measuring capital onchain at Gitcoin, Metagov and Scroll taught me how Ethereum behaves in production.

I work with banks, market infrastructure, fintechs and protocol teams taking Ethereum into regulated finance in Asia: regulatory and market mapping, commissioned research, pilot evaluation and advisory. I'm also open to full-time roles and speaking.
