Hey, I’m
Aaron.

A few things I’ve built. What I’m reading. And some thoughts along the way.

Take a look around

I work in growth and operations at Coinbase in Australia. I turn product launches into campaigns and partnerships, and build the software, dashboards and automations that help teams execute and measure them.

Things I’ve made.

SELECTED PROJECTS
01COINBASE · ONCHAIN GROWTH

Red Packets on Base

Built for Coinbase from idea to production in 12 days, owning development, design, go-to-market, and partnerships solo. Launched a smart contract on Base to bring red packets onchain, with shareable Twitter cards and a programmatically enforced follow-to-claim mechanic. The social growth loop took Coinbase Australia from 2.2k to 21.9k followers in one week. Launched with Infinex and Pudgy Penguins, earned a repost from Brian Armstrong, and generated 800k+ impressions across posts.

02COINBASE · GLOBAL MARKETING

Am I an NPC?

A solo build for Coinbase’s global marketing team, developed over roughly 13 days including creative review and iteration. Created the character idle animations myself using Veo 3 and masking. There’s a hidden surprise too: enter ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A.

03COINBASE · DATA & OPERATIONS

International Operations Dashboard

Built a shared view of trading, payments, onboarding and product performance across seven markets, used by country directors and product, support, growth and operations teams. Built the automated data pipeline and validation checks behind it. The dashboard helped identify missing Australian DEX fees and prompted a correction that restored fee collection on future trades.

Some thoughts take more than a post.

A home for essays, things I’m learning, and notes from making things. Nothing published just yet.
