About me
Hello! I’m Kush and I am based in the vibrant city of Berlin, Germany. With over six years of experience in marketing and business across diverse and dynamic sectors such as SaaS, AI-driven media monitoring, MarTech, publishing, distribution, and blockchain—I have had the privilege of working at the forefront of innovation.
Academic background
I pursued my master's degree at the University of Rome, where I developed a keen interest in blockchain technology. My dissertation focused on Ethereum-based smart contracts, examining the challenges related to legal development, user security, practical applications, and commercialization strategies. Unlike many who chase investment opportunities, I aimed to understand how blockchain can enhance processes and transparency across various industries.
Professional experience
In 2021, I joined the Cardano blockchain ecosystem as a niche content creator and also worked on educational materials, concentrating on its innovative NFT minting infrastructure. Although Cardano was technically my first love I hold a firm belief in a multi-chain future where users can benefit from multiple platforms without being restricted by a particular kind of technology. Right now, the division in the industry is mainly due to people investing their time and financial resources around different blockchain networks. While this strong loyalty can create rivalry, I understand the perspective that maximalists have helped blockchain development since those who are passionate about their chosen chain contribute positively to its community. Despite all that I envision an interoperable future that moves beyond crypto tribalism towards shared growth.
Continued exploration
My curiosity extends beyond Cardano; I am actively exploring advancements across various blockchain networks like Solana, Chainlink, Starknet, Arweave, and Ethereum. I believe the tech world is filled with brilliant minds, and I strive to connect with as many innovators as possible to learn from their insights.
Personal interests
Outside of my professional life, I embrace a minimalist lifestyle and remain active as both an athlete and a golfer. Mindfulness practice is essential to me, and I am passionate about inspiring others to enhance their quality of life.
Engagement in technology
I am deeply intrigued by emerging technologies and participate in workshops and hackathons, not just to network but also to learn about the incredible innovations being created. I am particularly fascinated by the intersection of AI and automation with blockchain across various sectors, including sports, travel, environmental sustainability, healthcare, and lifestyle. I believe in celebrating technology that empowers individuals to thrive, and through my blogs, I aim to highlight the inspiring contributions of innovators in this space.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you soon!
