# Hello world, my name is:

Sammy Salih

Crypto native operator / on-chain analyst / game theory enjoyer.

Looking for opportunities in Web3.

Based in Auckland, New Zealand.

# Profile:

Crypto-native operator with 7+ years of DeFi exposure and a finance/systems background. Experienced across wallets, dApps, liquidity, market structure, community channels, scam/phishing patterns, and operational risk.

I understand crypto from the user side, the risk side, and the operations side — and I use AI-first workflows to research, document, debug, and move faster.

# 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:

01

7+ years of DeFi exposure across wallets, dApps, liquidity, bridges, airdrops, protocol mechanics, and on-chain risk.

02

Built practical crypto-native judgement from market-making, delta-neutral, arbitrage, capital allocation, and risk evaluation workflows.

03

Finance & systems manager background across a 49-store NZ/AUS franchise network, supporting directors with reporting and operational visibility.

04

Managed 7 Xero accounts, 2 bookkeepers, POS/inventory integrations, and messy operational data that needed to become trusted reporting.

05

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.
