Since 2014, I have been building, operating, and governing meaningful systems across the crypto ecosystem. From the founding team at MakerDAO to validating Cosmos chains, from managing venture DAOs to running Ethereum infrastructure, I have spent more than a decade working at the intersection of protocol design, governance architecture, and hands on operations.
This is not consulting from the sidelines. It is grounded in real operational experience including late night debugging sessions, complex multi party governance decisions, and the unglamorous work of keeping critical infrastructure running.
Background
Active in the Ethereum ecosystem from the earliest days. Solo validator and infrastructure operator before it was mainstream.
Founding team at MakerDAO, working on governance, tokenomics, DAO operations, and community building during the creation of DAI.
Advisor to Aragon on early DAO governance models. Consultant to CoinFund on crypto strategy and DAO-based investment structuring.
Long-term Cosmos ecosystem validator and infrastructure operator. Active validator for Agoric and multiple other chains. Deep involvement in the Urbit ecosystem begins—operating infrastructure, contributing to governance, and building community.
Started an Urbit DAO, pioneering decentralized governance models in the Urbit ecosystem. Lead manager for MetaCartel Ventures—full-stack DAO operations: governance, accounting, distributions, legal compliance, NAV reporting.
Professional-grade infrastructure operations: Ethereum validators, Cosmos nodes, EigenDA operators. Complete monitoring, networking, and sysadmin stack. Served on the Urbit Senate, contributing to ecosystem governance and strategic direction.
Founded Octu Ventures, an Urbit-focused investment DAO. Founding member of Hydra Ventures. Exec-level leadership experience in the Urbit Foundation ecosystem, operating multiple Urbit ships across various infrastructure providers.
Deep experience with smart contract operations: ERC-20, ERC-1644 controller functions, token burns, distributions, custom Snapshot voting strategies.
Building systems that combine on-chain reputation, distributed knowledge graphs, AI-driven interfaces, and privacy-aware identity.

Design and operate complete governance frameworks. Proposal systems, voting mechanisms, member management, incentive structures, and conflict resolution. From early-stage projects to mature organizations.
On-Chain Operations
Manage token distributions, vesting schedules, SAFE/SAFT tracking, and complete token lifecycle processes. Execute controller functions, burns, redemptions. Design custom Snapshot strategies for voting systems.
Smart Contract Integration
Interact with smart contracts for admin operations, governance calls, and state management. Coordinate engineering teams around deployments. Audit operational workflows and create data pipelines for token accounting.
Strategic Consulting
Token economics, ecosystem strategy, market positioning, product design for on-chain systems. Community design and incentive structures. Long-term roadmapping and organizational models.
Infrastructure Audits
Review validator operations, uptime, security posture, and processes. Recommend improvements for reliability, decentralization, and cost efficiency.
Identity & Knowledge Systems
Design decentralized identity frameworks, social graph mapping, and permissioned access controls. AI-driven interfaces for blockchain communities via Telegram, chatbots, and knowledge bases.
Executive DAO Operations
Run day-to-day operations for foundations, grants programs, investment clubs, and token-holder groups. Handle compliance, filings, documentation. Board-level financial reports, NAV tracking, and multi-party decision management.
