    About
    Achievements

    Founded Paperchain, an instant payments app for Spotify artists. During our beta, I raised $2M pre-seed and closed partnerships with UnitedMasters, Kartel Music, Stripe Treasury, and paid out $1M+ to 4,000+ artists. Our product leveraged DeFi protocols on its backend to create an instant lending model for real-world assets. To build our product, I led integrations to music streaming platforms, Stripe Treasury, and our internal product API stack, which I helped plan and architect.
