about
I currently work on mobile crypto custody, wallets and app infrastructure at Rally Protocol, previously I built Fabrica.land from 0 to 1. I'm from Oakland, California and still live in Oakland, California. I've also resided in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Moçambique.
I've been working on decentralized ledger tech for the past 6 years. Why? I believe that in an increasingly chaotic world demand for credibly neutral tech and non-state-backed assets will scale with chaos.
There will also be increasing demand for soveriegnty over data and privacy, resulting in a proliferation of services that are p2p, privacy preserving and "cozy".
current interests: massively scalable defipunk financial services, the long arc of blockchain scalability, applied zkps, decentralized/p2p/local first ai, tech minimalism.
"I'm going to explain what the third leg of the human table is. I'm going to tell you. And then leave me alone. Life is demand and supply, or supply and demand, that's what it boils down to, but that's no way to live. A third leg is needed to keep the table from collapsing into the garbage pit of history which in turn is permananently collapsing into the garbage pit of of the void. So take note. This is the equation: supply + demand + magic. And what is magic? Magic is epic and it's also sex and dionysian mists and play"
