About Me

From Blue Collar to Blockchain: Niko's journey embodies the entrepreneurial spirit with a Web3 twist. Starting work in warehouses at age 15, he understood early the value of hard work and operational efficiency. This foundation led him to Florida Atlantic University, where he earned his degree in Ocean and Mechanical Engineering—disciplines that demand precision, systems thinking, and creative problem-solving.

Aerospace Excellence: After graduation, Niko spent five years at Pratt & Whitney, advancing to Senior Engineer. The aerospace industry demands uncompromising attention to detail, safety-critical thinking, and systematic approaches to complex problems. These skills became the bedrock of his later ventures into blockchain development.

The Web3 Pivot: In 2019, Niko made a strategic career transition into blockchain technology, specifically the Solana ecosystem. His timing and dedication earned him membership in the exclusive DEAD KING SOCIETY (only 100 original members), cementing his status as a Solana OG. This network position provided both credibility and connections that would prove invaluable.

Building Savage Studio: Today, Niko operates a sophisticated multi-jurisdictional business structure with Savage Studio S.R.L. (Costa Rica operations) and Savage Studio Holdings Inc. (Delaware IP holding). His flagship product, GOALPOST.GG, has demonstrated product-market fit with $50,000/hour handle in beta testing. DRUIDAO, his revenue-sharing NFT community, has generated over $90,000 in pre-launch sales, validating his community-building approach.

Technical Innovation: Beyond business operations, Niko remains deeply technical, building modular gaming infrastructure through the Savage NPM package suite and developing algorithmic trading systems that have generated hundreds of thousands in profits. His ability to combine technical execution with strategic business thinking makes him a rare founder in the Web3 space.
