👋 I'm Robinson Cook, Founder & CEO of Def0x, an innovation studio and engineering consultancy focused on building high-impact software for startups and emerging industries.

With a background in full-stack development and systems architecture, I lead product development from zero to one — guiding early-stage founders through technical strategy, AI/ML integrations, and scalable software design. At Def0x, we specialize in lean, founder-first execution across AI, blockchain, and low-code ecosystems, bridging the gap between vision and real-world traction.

Currently, I'm building Project Turnkey, a tenant-rights platform tackling housing inequality through transparency and automation — and previously led development on Batchfinders, a data-driven discovery platform for the cannabis industry.

Whether you're validating an idea, launching an MVP, or scaling a product, I bring hands-on engineering, principled decision-making, and no-fluff leadership to help you build the right thing — fast.
