What I'm looking for

I want to build production agentic systems—multi-agent pipelines, LLM reasoning loops, and risk-aware autonomy—in AI+crypto teams that move fast and ship real infrastructure.

I’m an AI engineer and technical founder building autonomous agents, agentic pipelines, and LLM-powered systems at the intersection of AI and crypto. I’ve shipped production AI agents with real money on the line—autonomous trading systems, self-sovereign agents, market intelligence tools, and MCP server infrastructure.

As Chief Technology Officer / Founding AI Engineer for The $400 Million Dollar Corporation, I lead the technical architecture for AI-native products where agents are the primary paradigm. With PerpsClaw, I built a multi-agent autonomous trading arena on Drift Protocol (Solana) featuring SOUL.md-driven personality, structured LLM reasoning output, tool calling, and a risk-check pipeline enforcing position sizing, leverage caps, stop-losses, and a daily loss circuit breaker.

I also design systems like WeatherClaw—an AI prediction market trading system achieving 61.7% win rate in live markets—and Concordia MCP, where I designed and shipped an MCP server enabling LLMs to query Solana portfolio state as native tool calls. Previously, I built developer-facing capabilities as Director of Developer Relations at Monax Labs and led documentation and developer onboarding at Wyre and Polygon, building feedback loops that directly shaped engineering and product decisions.
