About

Hi, my name is Antonina and I'm from Kyiv, Ukraine . The last 8 years I've spent in the US, splitting time between SF and NYC. I love both, but undeniably I vibe better with the latter.

After moving to the US, I got into blockchain engineering and later found myself in DeFi — finally loving what I do — and connecting the dots of my past: an applied math masters following a private math & physics lyceum sponsored by George Soros (not a joke — genuinely grateful for that).

Currently, I'm leading the engineering team at M0, building out things in the hottest and most stable corner of the industry, while slowly working toward a second degree in finance from Harvard Extension School. When DeFi & TradFi worlds merge into something productive, I want to be there too.

When I'm not working or chasing kids around (still almost never), I like to get out and explore countless beautiful places around NYC.
