👋 I'm currently exploring the frontier.

Most recently I was founder of x23.ai, a suite of tools to help delegates and DAOs to make better decisions. We raised a small angel round and shipped a ton, but unfortunately couldn't find strong enough PMF in a shrinking governance market.

Over the years I've founded multiple companies, some relatively successful and many that failed. One of the successes was an Apple-featured app with millions of downloads when the iPad was first released. Going back further, I co-founded a DJ training school that helped disinterested students get back into the school system (and sometimes find employment), which was later acquired. I eventually put a lot of that knowledge into an online DJ course, with 20k+ students.

I've also been part of fast growing startups, inlcuding being the 4th engineer at Aave (helping it grow from $1M TVL to $20B+ TVL), was part of the early iOS mobile team (3 people!) at Coinbase, and was part of the early team that showed playable ads were possible (and which was was later acquired).

I've also open-sourced a number of experiments and tools , was the first to create and ship a mainnet collateral swap in 2020, and was early to write and speak about dynamic bonding curves back in 2018.
