Father · Builder · Podcaster
I build tools thatgive people control.
That's the thread running through everything: AI agents, blockchain infrastructure, the content protection work I started with years ago. Being a father changed how I see technology. My kid is going to inherit this internet.
The Journey
The Beginning
Content Protection
Started helping creators remove stolen content, fake accounts, and doxxed information from the web. DMCA takedowns, GDPR requests, hunting down impersonators.
"Learned that the systems we build shape who has power."
The Expansion
Web3 & DAOs
Joined Raid Guild. Built governance infrastructure for ZKSync, worked with Ethereum Foundation on zero-knowledge research. Contributed to MakerDAO, Gnosis, Superfluid, Lens Protocol.
"Decentralization is about returning power to individuals."
The Convergence
AI Infrastructure
Contributing to ElizaOS (17k+ stars), building Open Orchestra for multi-agent coordination, running local models on 8x 3090s. Making AI work for developers, not against them.
"The best tools give you control, not dependency."
Now
Thrive Protocol
Building AI systems that automate treasury allocations from crypto ecosystems to builders. $150M+ committed capital, 1,800+ funded builders.
"You shouldn't need to be an insider to build great things."
What I Actually Do
AI Infrastructure
Contributing to ElizaOS (17k+ stars). Building orchestration layers, memory systems, and the boring plumbing that makes AI agents work in production. Running local models on 8x 3090s because I don't trust corporations with my data.
Blockchain Systems
Governance infrastructure for ZKSync (150k+ daily events). Zero-knowledge research with Ethereum Foundation. Contributor to MakerDAO, Gnosis, Superfluid, Lens Protocol. Not the sexy frontend stuff - the backend systems that keep things running.
Developer Tools
Azul - terminal web browser with AI. Open Orchestra - multi-agent coordination. AI Data Extraction - reclaim your coding assistant history.
Ethers Club Podcast
57 episodes talking to builders about technology, business, spirituality, and life. Guests include Ameen Soleimani (Moloch DAO), founders from Flow, DeFi Wonderland, and the teams behind AI coding tools.
What I Believe
Freedom Tech
Systems that give individuals more control, not less
Build in Public
175+ repos, most of them open source
Boring Reliability
The best infrastructure is invisible
Say No
To projects that extract value without creating it
Outside the Terminal
I run local meetups for builders. Read a lot about systems thinking. Lift weights because desk work will kill you otherwise. Family comes first-everything else is noise.
US-based. Async preferred. Clear specs. Ship it.
Let's Work Together
I take on a limited number of projects - usually infrastructure work that requires deep context and careful execution. If you're building something that gives people more freedom, more privacy, or more control over their digital lives, let's talk.
If you're building another extractive platform, I'm not your guy.
