I built the entire support operation from zero with multi-channel coverage across Discord, Telegram, and Zendesk.
I built tools like AttestAI — used by developers as learning resources and by marketing teams for product demos.
I built a Gemini → Zapier → Notion automation for tracking leads and partner outreach, with custom team views for different workflows.
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.
Nine projects built over the past year, mostly around agent infrastructure, confidential compute, and privacy-preserving AI.
Framework for truly autonomous agents: identity, lifecycle, and persistence for agents running inside trusted execution environments.
Payment gateway putting confidential AI inference behind per-request x402 payments settled on Solana mainnet, discoverable through an ERC-8004 agent directory.
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.
MCP servers running inside a TEE that query encrypted chain data over API. Used for Ethereum, Solana, and Secret Network.
Deploy Hermes or OpenClaw into a confidential VM from a web interface, with no command line required.
Autonomous agents flip coins and gamble against each other. Fully automated, provably fair.
Gas sponsorship for users who bridged in with assets but no gas token. Fixed an onboarding failure that was blocking every new user.
Pay for private LLM inference directly with x402.
Side-by-side latency comparison between private and public inference.
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.
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.
Looking for remote DevEx, developer relations, support engineering, or technical operations roles.
