Prologue
The short version of the story.
Digital assets operator and trader. For the past few years I've worked alongside some of the best traders in the industry at Credo, first on the prop desk and now running business operations, while trading my own account.
I run much of what the outside world sees of the firm: the daily briefing, Credo's X account, the Credo Wire news feed, marketing strategy and execution, and long-form research that gets Credo ready for TradFi institutions as perps and real-world assets go mainstream.
Markets came after operations. I've traded since 2019, starting with options on US and Indian equities, and before that co-founded a grocery business in India that reached $2M ARR and a team of 70+ before a full exit.

- Solely responsible for the firm-wide daily market briefing: thousands of developments cut down to the few that matter, with every headline and number verified.
- Set marketing strategy and execution, from posts to long-form research articles that position Credo for TradFi institutions as perps and real-world assets expand.
- Built the firm's institutional investor funnel from scratch in HubSpot, and run the website's careers page and applicant pipeline.

Quest log
Selected work, in a little more detail.
Credo Wire & Credo on X
CredoOnce the infrastructure on Nimbex, Credo's execution software, was ready for the desk, a small team of us opened its real-time news layer to the public as Credo Wire. It often lands headlines before the major crypto news outlets, and it grew Credo's Telegram channel and X following.
- On X
- Daily briefs, market insights and short-form nuggets, run solely by me.
- Distribution
- Credo Wire, the X account and quick charting tools on Discord and Telegram, used together as the marketing engine.
Research for TradFi readers
CredoLong-form pieces (3,000–5,000 words) that explain crypto-native instruments through traditional finance analogies, written for the institutions Credo wants to reach. The current piece looks at pre-IPO perpetual futures on Hyperliquid: how they track sentiment and direction ahead of a listing, and why volatility rises as they converge with the exchange's indicative price.
- Process
- Brief first, agreed with the team, then a sourced research file, then drafting with charts built from verified on-chain data.
- Daily briefing
- A morning card covering headlines, ETF flows, market breadth, the biggest gainers and losers, and upcoming catalysts.
