About Me

Product lead who
ships on-chain.

I'm Onyedikachi Ibeakolam, a Web3 Product Lead and Founder with a background spanning analytics, protocol design, and full-stack dApp delivery. I bridge deeply technical blockchain infrastructure with the user experiences that actually drive adoption.

My work spans DeFi safety modules, decentralized marketplaces, and on-chain analytics dashboards tracking billions in TVL. Proficient in Ethers.js, IPFS, Polygon/EVM, and Dune SQL. I use that technical depth to make better product decisions, not just write better tickets.

Currently building Knowledgr, a censorship-resistant ebook marketplace on Polygon solving $16B in cross-border publishing friction with USDC settlements and NFT-based ownership.
