Spearheaded the launch of the Sonr DevNet at premier collegiate hackathons, including PennApps XXII and UC Berkeley’s CalHacks, to drive grassroots adoption of decentralized identity protocols.

- Designed and hosted hands-on technical workshops aimed at abstracting away the friction of Web3 development, successfully onboarding dozens of first-time blockchain developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) without requiring deep cryptographic expertise.
- Provided direct architectural mentorship and SDK support (utilizing the Sonr Motor API and DID modules), enabling developers to seamlessly integrate decentralized identity, secure messaging, and token marketplaces within 48-hour constraints.
- Fostered a thriving early-stage ecosystem that produced highly innovative dApps, including Ptolemy (an on-chain/off-chain validator reputation scoring system), Faiza (a decentralized, token-incentivized health forum), and WalkWithMe (a secure, DID-authenticated peer-to-peer transit network).
