Some Things I've Built

Discord support tickets Zendesk dashboard
Secret Network

Support Operations

I built the entire support operation from zero with multi-channel coverage across Discord, Telegram, and Zendesk.

Technical POC

I built tools like AttestAI — used by developers as learning resources and by marketing teams for product demos.

Sales & BizDev Pipeline

I built a Gemini → Zapier → Notion automation for tracking leads and partner outreach, with custom team views for different workflows.

Bug Bounty Program

I ran a pre-launch bug bounty program. I coordinated 1,000+ submissions and caught high-impact UX bugs before launch. All funds were safe and we launched on time.

Open Source

Code I've Shipped

Nine projects built over the past year, mostly around agent infrastructure, confidential compute, and privacy-preserving AI.

Idiostasis Protocol

Framework for truly autonomous agents: identity, lifecycle, and persistence for agents running inside trusted execution environments.

Corbits × Secret

Payment gateway putting confidential AI inference behind per-request x402 payments settled on Solana mainnet, discoverable through an ERC-8004 agent directory.

Secret or Not

Runs a DistilBERT classifier to decide whether a prompt needs a private model or can go to a cheaper public one. Small enough to be free, fast enough to be invisible.

Secret Network MCP

MCP servers running inside a TEE that query encrypted chain data over API. Used for Ethereum, Solana, and Secret Network.

Secret Forge

Deploy Hermes or OpenClaw into a confidential VM from a web interface, with no command line required.

Proof of Flip

Autonomous agents flip coins and gamble against each other. Fully automated, provably fair.

Fee Grant Faucet

Gas sponsorship for users who bridged in with assets but no gas token. Fixed an onboarding failure that was blocking every new user.

Secret Inference

Pay for private LLM inference directly with x402.

LLM Speed Compare

Side-by-side latency comparison between private and public inference.

My Background

How I Got Here

Before Tech

I built and ran Replay Games in upstate New York for 9 years. I started with one location, expanded to three, and managed a team of 30. I learned how to solve problems on the fly, build systems that worked, and keep things running without a playbook.

Into Tech

In 2020 I joined Secret Network and built their support operation from scratch — Discord, Telegram, Zendesk, whatever was needed. I helped grow the community and now work in developer relations and operations, shipping proof-of-concepts across agent infrastructure and confidential compute.
