Stablecoins & Tokenization Bootcamp

At Chainlink's flagship conference in New York City, I led a full-day builder bootcamp focused on stablecoins, tokenization, and the infrastructure moving real-world value onchain.

Teaching the platform shift

Making onchain finance concrete for builders

The bootcamp centered on stablecoins and tokenization: how digital value is represented, how these systems connect to real financial use cases, and what developers need to understand to build responsibly with the underlying infrastructure.

That hands-on teaching is the through line across my career. New platforms become useful when builders can move from architecture and terminology to working mental models, practical patterns, and the confidence to create something real.
