I ran SpookySwap as Managing Director for 3.5 years — all business operations, partnerships, finances, and strategy for what became a top-5 DEX globally with $66.5B in lifetime trading volume and $1.2B peak TVL. I was the protocol's primary external representative, managing 20+ strategic partnerships and speaking at Consensus, Korea Blockchain Week, and BlockSplit. I've been through the worst crypto has to offer, the Multichain exploit that wiped out dozens of Fantom protocols, a full bear market, and a complete chain migration from Fantom to Sonic, and kept the protocol alive and the community intact through all of it. Now I'm the Founder and CEO of Spooky Labs Japan in Tokyo, where I've shipped 6 products across 5+ chains including AMM DEXs, perpetual trading, DAO governance tooling, and AI-powered trading vaults. What makes me effective: I'm not an engineer pretending to do business, and I'm not a business guy who doesn't understand the tech. I sit in the middle, I can talk to a Solidity dev about AMM architecture in the morning and negotiate a partnership deal over dinner. Five years of doing both is hard to find in this space. Looking for BD, partnerships, or protocol leadership roles. Based in Tokyo, open to remote.
