Product · AI · DeFi
From off-grid power to onchain markets to AI agents.
Startup founder and product lead with ten years shipping across industries, from satellite-imagery analysis for rural electrification to fine-tuned LLM apps and internal AI adoption programs. Took RISE Chain from concept to mainnet readiness, and built RoboVault, an early automated delta-neutral DeFi protocol at $50M peak TVL. Currently building agentic AI systems.
Projects
10Selected work from the past decade, built inside previous roles or as shorter experiments on my own.
RoboVault
Co-FounderActively managed delta-neutral vaults, returning a steady ~10% APY on stablecoins for 18 months without token incentives. Grew to 5,000+ users and $50M peak TVL.
RISEx Contracts
ContributorCore exchange contracts for a fully onchain perpetual futures venue, plus the RLP automated market-making vault designed with external market makers. Taken through full external audit; the venue has since cleared $6B+ in cumulative volume, averaging ~$90M a day.
RISE Wallet
Product OwnerWallet stack for RISE: passkey sign-in, session keys and gas sponsorship, so an onchain app can feel like a normal one.
Open CLOB
OwnerOnchain central limit order book with Uniswap V4-style hooks, for experimenting with modular CLOB architecture inside a high-performance EVM.
Hikikomori Haven
OwnerAI companion app built on Llama 3 8B fine-tunes (Unsloth, DPO) with RAG and persistent conversation state. Five public models, with thousands of downloads on the GGUF release.
Py16z / Pyliza
OwnerPython AI-agent work around social and onchain actions, linking agent UX with crypto execution primitives.
Arkiver
ContributorBlockchain indexing framework and hosted platform, so a team can manage Web3 data pipelines without rebuilding chain ingestion from scratch.
Web3 Backtest
ContributorBacktesting library for onchain strategies, simulating yield, hedging and market-condition sensitivity before capital goes near them.
Dojima Finance
OwnerHackathon-winning derivatives protocol exploring permissionless options, lending primitives and unusual market mechanics.
SpekBoom

Unleash the Money Legos
Composability, DeFi Summer, and why native orderbooks inside a high-performance EVM are the next primitive.
