I'm a developer and builder at the intersection of Web3 and AI, with a passion for creating autonomous agents, decentralized applications, and on-chain intelligence. My work spans AI-driven smart contracts, privacy-preserving protocols, and funding tools for public goods. I’ve contributed to projects like NEAR AI, Potlock, and MagicBuild—leveraging LangChain, zk tech, and smart contract automation to push the boundaries of decentralized innovation.

I'm the COO at Bitte.AI, a platform for deploying highly performant on-chain agents. Built on NEAR, Bitte.AI lets developers create agents that users can access through embedded chat interfaces. If you're building on-chain services, exploring agentic infrastructure, or rethinking how users interact with blockchains, let’s connect. Always happy to collaborate with people pushing the space forward.
