I build the systems underneath things: protocols, infrastructure and privacy tools, and lately the plumbing AI agents run on.
I'm happiest exploring new tech, especially anything around privacy and infrastructure. Away from the keyboard: the gym, non-fiction, travelling, and finding new places to explore.
Right now I'm contributing to
pressprotocol.com, building decentralized publishing infrastructure with multi-transport failover across IPFS and Tor.
Earlier I was senior lead engineer at
Funding the Commons (Commons Labs), working on onchain infrastructure for public-goods funding, and built
NebulaID, a privacy-preserving identity protocol. Before that I co-founded
NexusFi (liquid staking/restaking on Nibiru), built the protocol from zero.
