There are new shoots in winter, and falling leaves in spring.
Aaron Chi. One subject for a decade: liquidity. Matched offchain at Goldman Sachs, matched onchain at Amber Group, now opening 1,000,000 onchain liquidity markets. Based in Hong Kong.
Self taught since middle school, and still hands on with every layer before it gets handed to the person who will own it: web and C++ systems, Rust MEV strategies, browser automation at scale with fingerprint level security research, EVM contracts down to Huff and raw opcodes. Design, marketing and management the same way.
Before all of it: a software studio I started in college, paid work since 2014, and a podcast that has been running five years.
