I joined the crypto industry at the height of the NFT Summer in 2021. I worked to join videogame mechanics with a crypto economic layer on Improbable's vision of the Metaverse, where I built the would-be DAO treasury and governance system. Then moved to create various experiments (cross-chain identity prototypes on ERC-6551, dynamic-metadata NFTs, and a marketplace wired into Unity) as part of a newly created R&D section.
From there I moved over to Somnia, the fastest L1 ever, where I led engineering from devnet to mainnet. This was easily one of the most intense times in my career. I led a team of 5 developers, attended conferences as a speaker and supported 60+ ecosystem projects as they integrated for Somnia's mainnet launch. We also shipped the consensus and staking contracts that now hold over 20% of the SOMI supply, vesting smart contracts for investors, built the quest platform that verified and rewarded 95,000+ contributors, and put together everything else a TGE demands.
After Somnia I joined Charms as founding engineer. It was a consumer app where every AI companion had its own token and economy. I owned the on-chain side and made it feel like a normal app for people who had never used a wallet: embedded wallets, token launches with Clanker and cross-chain swaps across Base, Solana, and BNB.
These days I build AI agents and the products around them, and I still take on web3 work when the contracts are the hard part. I'm open to a founding or senior role on an AI product, and I take a small number of contracts through MoveSeventyEight. I write about what I build along the way.
