  • ▸ Built Blueprint Agent — a production AI platform (ai.tangle.tools) with React, Cloudflare Workers, Supabase, LiteLLM, and Stripe
  • ▸ Developer on the Tangle blockchain — a Substrate-based network with EVM compatibility, zero-knowledge proofs, and multi-party computation
  • ▸ Collaborated with EigenLayer's team on their Rust SDK, initially porting it ourselves before co-developing their official version
