WRITING & PHILOSOPHY

AVAILABILITY

I’m currently focused on evolving a fully sovereign technology stack — koad-io, eCoinCore, and Beatify — built for creators, journalists, and organizations that care about attribution, local control, and trustable tooling.

My work blends protocol-level engineering, full-stack development, and context-aware automation. I’m not seeking employment in the traditional sense — but if your mission intersects with mine, I’m open to conversations about high-leverage roles (principal engineer, staff architect, or strategic advisor) where autonomy, purpose, and infrastructure sovereignty are respected.

If you're building tools that empower humans — not just users — reach out.
