Welcome to the Origin Protocol team, Yasthiel "Dev" Devraj!
We're thrilled to announce the latest addition to our team, Dev, who joins us as our new Content Marketing Manager. Dev has been involved with Origin for nearly two years, and he brings with him a rich tapestry of experiences and passions that align well with Origin Protocol's core beliefs.
Dev's journey into the world of cryptocurrency began back in 2015, which sparked a relentless pursuit of knowledge and involvement in the crypto space. Since then, his dedication to decentralization and the open-source movement has only deepened. Dev is particularly passionate about leveraging blockchain technology for financial inclusion, remittances, and empowering artists—a testament to his belief in crypto's transformative potential.
Beyond his personal investment in the space, Dev has made significant professional strides. His crypto career began in early 2021 at VALR, South Africa's largest crypto exchange, where he was instrumental in establishing the company’s marketing department.
There, he not only managed content, socials, and community engagement but also played a key role in token audits and the listing process. His subsequent role at Mercuryo, a crypto fintech firm, further honed his expertise in payment solutions and blockchain integrations, solidifying his understanding of the financial underpinnings of the crypto world.
Aside from crypto, Dev is passionate about 3D art and scientific visualization. Since 2019, he has been self-teaching 3D art, captivated by the endless possibilities NFTs offer creators. His fascination with generative 3D art and physics-based simulations in Houdini showcases his creative spirit and innovative mindset.
Dev is a globetrotter with over 30 countries under his belt, a culinary enthusiast, and an animal lover—reflecting his well-rounded personality that values diversity, exploration, and empathy. His multifaceted background and forward-thinking approach are set to invigorate our content marketing, driving deeper engagement and education within our community.
Please join us in giving Dev a warm welcome to the Origin Protocol family. We can't wait to see the new heights we'll reach together.
