I revive startup engineering teams and help evaluate technical acquisitions.
Focused on the Decentalized Tech and Retail AI Space.
Are critical deadlines looming while your engineering team struggles with chaos? Trying to raise capital and keep the product afloat? I specialize in stepping into challenging environments—whether they lack structure or face significant disarray—and restoring order and efficiency. I have worked with multiple companies in the past where engineering teams have completely vanished on my clients, and I have come in fresh, stabilized the product and turned things around to operational. My background encompasses working with diverse teams and stacks across various organizations, enabling me to swiftly navigate and rectify complex situations.
Considering an acquisition and need to evaluate the technical assets? I offer in-depth technical assessments for mergers and acquisitions. Having been on both sides of the equation—as an acquisition target and an acquirer—I bring a balanced perspective to each evaluation. My expertise spans AI, machine learning, scalable backend systems, front-end development, and more, equipping me to thoroughly analyze and advise on potential technical investments
Need an IC for a specific project? Need an engineering manager? I offer project based services. I can code in Go, Typescript, Python, and have a little bit of experience with Rust. I have experience with Kubernetes (cloud and edge), ML pipelines, and can support the full stack. I have worked on multiple companies in the Web3 space, Retail AI space, and Decentralized Identity Space. I have a passion particularly for decentralization, but I can spread across other focuses when required.

A Decentralized Web Node (DWN) is a data storage and message relay mechanism entities can use to locate public or private permissioned data related to a given Decentralized Identifier (DID). Decentralized Web Nodes are a mesh-like datastore construction that enable an entity to operate multiple nodes that sync to the same state across one another, enabling the owning entity to secure, manage, and transact their data with others without reliance on location or provider-specific infrastructure, interfaces, or routing mechanisms.
Chair@DIF 2023-Present
Foundational components of an open, standards-based, decentralized identity ecosystem for people, organizations, apps, and devices.
Co-Lead@Trust Over IP 2023-Present
The primary objective of this Task Force is to develop the ToIP Trust Registry Protocol as a ToIP Specification. The purpose of this deliverable to enable interoperability between ToIP-compliant trust registries.
Editor@Trust Over IP 2022-Present
The Technology Architecture Task Force (TATF) is a task force of the ToIP Technology Stack Working Group. The mission of the TATF is to draft the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification that defines the overall technical requirements for the four layers of the ToIP stack. Note: this specification is intended to serve as a direct a counterpart to the ToIP Governance Architecture Specification deliverable from the GSWG Governance Architecture TF. (The full set of first-generation ToIP Governance Stack specifications are described in this ToIP blog post.
Co-Lead and Founder@Trust Over IP 2024-Present
The mission of the Service Discovery Task Force (SDTF) is to develop specifications that enable discoverability of services in a decentralized context. This includes but is not limited to helping ToIP endpoint systems learn about the services that are available to them, and how to interact with them.
Co-Lead and Founder@Decentralized Identity Foundation 2024-Present
An incubation community within DIF that encourages development and collaboration on new ideas and projects.
