👤 EXECUTIVE PROFILE

A visionary entrepreneur and political dissident with over 30 years of experience in media production and building decentralized Web1, Web2, Web3 ecosystems.

A tenacious leader who turns crises into opportunities: during 13 months of political imprisonment in the United States (2024–2025), I completed 293 courses (864 hours) to master the technical stack necessary to develop the Kaprika DAC.

My experience includes combat experience in Afghanistan, a red carpet appearance at the Oscars, and persecution by the FSB for anti-war activities. Today, I am building blockchain infrastructure to guarantee freedom of speech and protect independent creators from censorship.
