As the founder and CEO of EDATApp, I lead the development of an innovative mobility and earnings platform that rewards drivers and cyclists for recording their journeys — transforming everyday travel data into digital value. Supported by Microsoft for Startups, I leverage Azure Cloud and AI-driven architecture to build scalable, privacy-focused mobility solutions. My journey in the blockchain and crypto industry began in 2013, when I started exploring cryptocurrency mining and early blockchain technologies. Over the years, I have continuously refined my expertise — from mining and smart contract development to creating my own tokens and managing ICO launches. This decade-long experience has given me deep insight into the evolution of decentralized technologies and the regulatory challenges shaping the industry today. I combine this technical foundation with entrepreneurial strategy — designing tokenized business models, leading real-world asset (RWA) projects, and building bridges between blockchain innovation and practical, real-world applications. Through EDATApp and other ventures, my focus remains on creating sustainable ecosystems that empower users while anticipating the next wave of blockchain adoption and regulation. In short: I have been continuously evolving in the crypto space since 2013, turning my early passion for mining and blockchain into professional expertise in token design, DeFi architecture, and real-world applications. My goal is to transform emerging technologies into lasting value for both users and investors.
