Getting laid off from OKX is an elite club filled with legends, that I am honored to have joined yesterday. What an insane adventure it’s been. I am incredibly proud of the work I did while I was there, and my heart is full of gratitude for the amazing co-workers who truly have become family. I was brought on to do DEX BD, where I was the #1# BD for volume and trader deals. After that team was re-org’d, I joined dex opps, focusing on AI integrations, and started a vibe-coding club with Solana Superteam USA. After another re-org/re-focus (ADHD dream TBH)… I was next tasked with helping to expand OKX’s creator program, which I doubled in two weeks, created a bounty program that is now used by/ sought after by many teams, and got to work alongside some brilliant creatives to really help it become more personal. I know I worked w/ most of y’all reading this, and from the bottom of my heart, the lack of clarity around that program killed me more than you know, and I hate that X is how I have to say my formal goodbye. Please reach out to me on personal channels if I can do anything for you! I got to learn the ins and outs of a centralized exchange, throw events at the New York Stock exchange, and across the world as we entered new markets. I truly learned invaluable lessons, (and don’t worry I definitely preached self-custody daily… after all it is about mitigating risk & diversifying assets!) Speaking of risk, OKX’s compliance and special investigations teams are probably the most epic people I have ever met. I think working with them, & learning from them has been the highlight of my career. They made me realize the true value of a cex (something I NEVER thought I would say) And throughout all of this, I had unlimited claude tokens & became resident vibe coder for all of my teams. Never once did I think I would be creating technology. What a time to be alive. Its time to return to my roots; decentralization, trading, education, & being in control of executing quickly & seeing projects through until the end. Hit me up if you are building something cool that needs someone who can wear many hats (though they will all be orange and furry) But only if you eat, sleep, breathe it. Passion, conviction, & integrity are everything. Or work at a company with unlimited AI credits… I wish I could tell you exactly what kind of role I’m most excited to jump into next, but as a human Swiss Army knife, I genuinely love doing it all. anyways ... see you at breakpoint?
