My Speaking Engagements
Speaker Profile
As a seasoned speaker and thought leader in the Web3 ecosystem, I bring deep insights from my participation in global conferences, panels, and keynotes. My expertise spans the intersection of Web3, AI, venture capital, and emerging technologies, with a focus on user-centric innovation, fundraising strategies, and the evolving landscape of decentralized systems. Below are the key topics I specialize in, each informed by my extensive experience across events like Super Vietnam, Taipei Blockchain Week, Dubai Global Blockchain Congress, and Korea Blockchain Week.
Topics of Expertise
1. Building User-Centric Web3 Applications
I specialize in creating decentralized applications (dApps) that prioritize seamless user experiences. Drawing from my panel at Super Vietnam 2025, I share strategies for designing intuitive interfaces and streamlining onboarding to drive Web3 adoption. My talks provide practical insights for developers and founders to build dApps that balance blockchain’s power with user-friendly design.
2. Venture Capital and Fundraising in Web3
With experience from panels at Taipei Blockchain Week 2024 and ETHKL 2024, I guide founders on securing venture capital in the Web3 ecosystem. I break down how to craft compelling pitches and align with investor priorities, offering actionable advice on navigating fundraising in competitive markets like Southeast Asia.
3. The Convergence of AI and Web3
Having spoken at GM Vietnam 2024 and TeamZ Web3 & AI Summit 2024, I explore how AI and blockchain can amplify each other’s potential. I discuss applications like AI-driven smart contracts and decentralized data marketplaces, providing a forward-looking perspective on their impact on DeFi, memecoins, and beyond.
