I've helped make some crucial pieces of technology in social, fintech, crypto, and more as an employee, consultant, and advisor. In 2023 I was listed as one of Business Insider's Top 100 people in AI for my prototypes exploring the future of AI computing.

I've also published dozens and dozens of my own apps and websites as experiments, businesses, side-projects and more.
