CTO at Quecko Inc — 50-person engineering org. Six-plus years building Web3 protocols, AI agent platforms, and the infrastructure beneath both. Five protocols shipped. I don't manage, I build.

The best code is written by people who ship. The best teams are led by people who still code. I do both. Five protocols, one AI platform, fifty engineers — all from the keyboard.

about

Founding-level engineer who became the CTO because someone had to own the whole stack. At Quecko Inc I lead a 50-person engineering org and I still review code, design protocol architecture, and ship production Web3 systems myself.

Five protocols shipped as technical lead/CTO — privacy infrastructure, decentralized internet, prediction markets, social/token platforms, and AI agents — owning the full stack from smart contracts to AWS, delivery to team leadership.

Currently focused on AI-native and agentic systems — architected the JONI orchestration platform: multi-agent LLM integration and tool-calling pipelines in production.
