Hey everyone,

Not job hunting yet, but I want to get my CV solid before I start cold-emailing. Would appreciate honest feedback.

Quick background: I've spent the last 2+ years building in blockchain and AI — DeFi protocols, won a few hackathons, built a solo AI product that actually has users. Based in Vietnam, aiming for remote work at a foreign startup or eventually relocating to the US or Australia.

Here's my problem: I don't know anyone outside Vietnam. No warm intros, no former coworkers at companies I'd want to join. The CV has to carry the whole weight.

A few things I'm genuinely unsure about:

1. Does this look credible to a US or Australian hiring manager? The company names, university, everything is local — I worry it just looks unfamiliar and gets skipped.
2. My experience skews heavily blockchain. Should I downplay the Web3 stuff if I'm also applying to non-crypto startups?
3. Should I mention willingness to relocate on the CV itself, or save that for the cover letter?
4. What am I missing? Open source contributions? A personal site? What do startups expect to see that I probably don't have?

CV attached. Don't sugarcoat it.
