I do freedom tech stuff. I rant about lightning. I build AI and bitcoin stuff. I want to combine all of these (minus the ranting) into something that pushes the quest for freedom one step forward.
I build lots of MVP’s and do R&D for various companies. I also consult companies on Bitcoin, AI, nostr security and infrastructure.
I’m working on several projects, most notably enclava.ai and nostr.net. I’m also building lots of open source tools things and run a few directories about things I’m interested in.
Previously I’ve built (and since shutdown) a company building tools to solve lightning node management, started a Bitcoin meetup that turned into more than just acommunity and was part of the experiment called SEC-01, short for Sovereign Engineering Cohort where a bunch of us freedom tech pirates experimented with nostr and other technologies over the course of two months.
