Building tools and protocols for personal expression, coordination, and connection on the internet.
Interested in plurality, open source, open protocols, local-first software, cryptographic privacy, and the principles of censorship resistance, user sovereignty, and public goods that underpin the Ethereum ecosystem. The platforms and tools we rely on to express ourselves and coordinate with each other have become extractive by default. The work I care about is building alternatives where the user keeps their autonomy, their data stays local, and the design respects people from the start.
Making
Presence Protocol
Your internet presence. A protocol for personal expression and connection that's private by default. Reveal what you choose, to who you choose, and when. Stay connected with the world without sacrificing your values.
Early development.
Human Context Protocol (working title)
Secure, portable, structured personal context. Your preferences, values, and idiosyncrasies in a private vault on your machine, compounding over time. Making the tools you use more powerful, unlocking new possibilities, and empowering your ability to exit.
Pair with your personal AI agent or LLM chat, or soon with any number of apps and services from a growing constellation of ecosystem-aligned tools.
