# Hello world, my name is:
Sammy Salih
Crypto native operator / on-chain analyst / game theory enjoyer.
# Profile:
I am a crypto native operator with 8+ years of experience across most major blockchain ecosystems. I understand how crypto users think, where risks appear, and how incentives shape behaviour.
Before focusing fully on crypto, I worked as Finance and Systems Manager for a 50+ store franchise network, supporting a head office generating $1m+ NZD per month. That role gave me real responsibility across financial reporting, operational systems, data quality, and problem solving.
The value I bring is the overlap: crypto native judgement backed by real-world operational discipline. My edge is combining that experience with AI-assisted workflows to research faster, analyse better, and turn messy information into useful output.
# Looking for:
- Business development and ecosystem growth.
- Protocol, network, and operations support.
- Project research and on-chain analyst support.
- KYC/AML compliance, forensics, investigations.
- Community support, trust & safety moderation.
# Ecosystems:
- General expert in bitcoin, solana, and sui.
- DeFi, market making, lending, yield farming.
- NFTs, memes, media, incentives, game theory.
- Dapps, discord, telegram, and x communities.
- Scams, phishing, and user risk identification.
# Signals:
7+ years of DeFi exposure across wallets, dApps, liquidity, bridges, airdrops, protocol mechanics, and on-chain risk.
Built practical crypto-native judgement from market-making, delta-neutral, arbitrage, capital allocation, and risk evaluation workflows.
Finance & systems manager background across a 49-store NZ/AUS franchise network, supporting directors with reporting and operational visibility.
Managed 7 Xero accounts, 2 bookkeepers, POS/inventory integrations, and messy operational data that needed to become trusted reporting.
Comfortable translating complex systems into clear decisions for users, operators, founders, and non-technical stakeholders.
# Perspective:
I am not trying to enter crypto because it sounds interesting. I already live in the ecosystem. I understand users, incentives, wallets, protocol mechanics, community behaviour, and the operational mess behind crypto products.
