// currently: building AI infra, shipping cross-platform apps, questioning everything

I build infrastructure for AI and decentralized systems — embedding with teams to diagnose problems, ship solutions, and move on. 6+ years across protocol security, distributed systems, and ML infrastructure. I've productionized inference harnesses, built cross-platform native apps, and designed monitoring systems that protected billions in onchain assets. The universe is indifferent, so I write code that actually matters. Between commits I train muay thai, mix music, and oscillate between existential dread and genuine optimism.

BUILDING

// what I'm shipping right now

HermesForked agent harness on home lab.
HermesNativeCross-platform AI agent client in SwiftUI (macOS + iOS). WebSocket JSON-RPC gateway, wiki graph, skills browser, cron management.
d‑inferenceDistributed inference engine integration — MLX backend debugging, speculative decoding benchmarks, E2E latency profiling on Apple Silicon.

Local LLMs are the only real democratization. Everything else is renting your intelligence from someone else's server.

AI will transform human societies in ways most of us aren't prepared for.

🔮

Decentralization isn't about ideology — it's about removing single points of failure, including people.

Your job won't love you back. Build skills, not loyalty.

🎯

The best code is the code that solves a real problem. Everything else is cosplay.

🪦

We're all going to die. Spread good vibes in this entropic universe. Might as well work on interesting problems.
