Bio
Worked as a product engineer at an a16z backed DeFi startup helping scale crypto products, then went on to win ETHGlobal New York and ETHGlobal Delhi while earning recognition from Business Insider and the Ethereum Foundation. After building in crypto and seeing firsthand how painful manual licensing and compliance workflows are for regulated companies, now building Payna to automate regulatory licensing and ongoing compliance.
