Professional Spotlight: From the Lab to Web3 — How a Former Chemist Became a Leading ‘Reply Guy’

Coded Scientist, also known by his online moniker, is a skilled web3 content writer and community engager based in Lagos, Nigeria. Having transitioned from a medical profession as a clinical chemist, he found his passion in the world of Web3. His unique ability to engage communities, respond effectively, and create compelling content has established him as a trusted "reply guy" and a versatile ghostwriter for various brands and influencers. Working primarily in the crypto and blockchain space, he has become a recognized figure, collaborating with major brands and influencers to amplify their voices in the digital community.

Q: Can you tell us about your journey from a clinical chemist to a Web3 content creator?

Coded Scientist: My journey was quite unconventional. I started as a clinical chemist, but I always had a passion for technology and exploring the internet. One day, I came across the Web3 space and found it fascinating. I began to engage with online communities and realized I had a knack for replying and interacting with people. This led me to explore content writing and engagement as a profession rather than just a hobby. It felt so natural and easy, and that’s how I transitioned into the role I have today.

Q: You mentioned that you are known as a ‘reply guy’ in the space. Could you elaborate on what that entails?

Coded Scientist: Being a ‘reply guy’ is all about engaging communities actively. I found a niche where I could interact with people in the Web3 space, helping them understand concepts, answering questions, and contributing to conversations. It’s a way to build trust and credibility while showcasing the brand’s presence consistently. Brands and influencers appreciate this as it helps keep their audience engaged, and that’s why I’ve been able to secure several collaborations in this area.

Q: You also work as a ghostwriter for various brands. What does your writing process look like?

Coded Scientist: Yes, I often write as a ghostwriter for projects. Sometimes I create content that is published under my own name, but most of my work is shared through the brands I collaborate with. I focus on using platforms like Twitter, where I post threads and engage with communities. My writing process involves understanding the brand's voice, their audience, and tailoring the message in a way that resonates with them while also making complex Web3 concepts simple and engaging.

Q: What has been your biggest challenge in transitioning to the Web3 space?

Coded Scientist: Initially, it was the uncertainty of finding jobs and securing consistent work. However, I realized that building a strong online presence and engaging consistently opened up opportunities. Most of my work now comes from referrals, thanks to the trust I’ve built in the community. It was about creating value first, and once people saw that, they reached out to me.

Q: What advice would you give to aspiring Web3 content creators and community managers/ Reply guy?

Coded Scientist: I would say, start by engaging. Don’t focus too much on securing jobs initially. Build your brand by being present in the community, replying to threads, sharing insights, and making connections. Over time, as you build a reputation for being knowledgeable and helpful, opportunities will naturally come your way. Also, always stay updated with the latest in Web3—it’s a rapidly evolving field, and staying informed is crucial.


Q: What’s a core personal value that you bring into your work in Web3?

Coded Scientist: The core personal value I bring into my work in Web3 is approaching each client and project as if it were my own business. I believe in communicating effectively and treating my work not just as a job, but with the same dedication and responsibility as if I owned the business. This mindset allows me to deliver high-quality results and build trust with clients, ensuring their goals are met with utmost professionalism and commitment.
