Building sovereign infrastructure for what our lives run on.
AI and distributed systems engineer, working on the layer most people never see: an operating system for machines and data centers, inference routing across heterogeneous compute, confidential computing on real hardware, and settlement infrastructure for assets worth hundreds of millions. Architecture through to production.

Selected experience(4)
The work that is live now. The full chronology, including music and public service, is on the about page.
A lab for worlds, simulation and training, where agents live whole lives and are checked against the real world before they are trusted.
- Building Living Worlds: simulated worlds of people and places in which agents live whole lives, each measured against the real world before it is trusted.
- Ipnops (ipnops.ai), its I/O layer for robotics, machines, infrastructure and software.
- Designed a world model rather than a memory: state with a current value, history and rollback, and expectations settled by what actually happens.
- Built the gate at the core of the runtime: an agent's beliefs move on ratings and outcomes, but its practice changes only when an independent check beats the old way.

Compisle
Modular, factory-built compute and energy systems for sovereign digital infrastructure.

Praecise
Infrastructure for cloud and physical operations. We own the machines, the operating system that runs them, and the cloud placed on top.
- Created Furcate OS, a Linux-based operating system designed to run machines and data centers.
- Runs the machines end to end: measurement, forecasting, placement, power and thermal control across the hardware Praecise owns.
- Building the cloud layer that places and supervises workloads on machines we own and operate.
- Rivier (rivier.ai), the Praecise product that puts AI to work across the tools a business already uses.
- Praecise operates as a cloud service provider, delivering digital infrastructure powered by data centers and machines running Furcate OS.

Tenzro
A decentralized AI and distributed computing network, supplying AI compute to data-center operators worldwide.
- Founded and architected a decentralized compute network combining distributed execution, secure identity, multi-VM execution and settlement.
- Built execution frameworks for workloads that coordinate, transact, and settle across the network.
- Implemented privacy-preserving computation using Trusted Execution Environments and secure infrastructure.
- Developed distributed AI inference routing to optimize cost, latency, and performance across heterogeneous compute.
- Built native settlement for the compute and inference the network runs, with cross-chain interoperability.

Writing
Essays on intelligence, infrastructure, and what runs underneath.
01
Permissionless Intelligence
Most countries can't build a gigawatt AI campus, and most operators can't rent one. Open models are now good enough that they don't have to — what's missing is a network anyone can join, run a node on, and provide AI to. Notes on building Tenzro, and why it matters for small nations and independent operators.
02
The Gating of Intelligence
When access to the most capable AI models becomes conditional, gated, and revocable overnight, the case for verifiable and distributed systems stops being ideological and becomes practical.
03
Who Does the Agent Answer To?
AI agents can now hold money and spend it — the payment rails arrived this spring. Identity, liability, and governance are being retrofitted afterward, and that order is backwards.
04
Privacy Is Not a Setting
A court order for twenty million chat logs, an opt-out nobody saw, and a cloud vendor that couldn't promise anything under oath. Data sovereignty isn't a toggle you flip — it's decided by architecture and jurisdiction, long before you reach the settings page.
