Using agents as part of my daily workflow
I use agents for research, coding, debugging, deployment, monitoring and long-running project work, and teach practical patterns around tools, memory, planning and execution.
I work across blockchain infrastructure, programmable payments and AI agents. I code, teach, build products and explain complex systems through demos, workshops and writing.

I use agents for research, coding, debugging, deployment, monitoring and long-running project work, and teach practical patterns around tools, memory, planning and execution.
At Metis I built programs such as FastTrack and a multi-day blockchain developer certification, with curricula spanning Solidity, deployment tooling, front-end integrations, bridges, indexing and oracles. I also ran Buidl Hour workshops, hackathon support and live tool demos designed to get developers from explanation to working code.
ShipGuild is where I build public experiments around AI agents and onchain markets. Agent Arena makes each agent’s strategy, decisions, trades and rankings visible against real SHIP/SOL market data. The broader guild also ships practical Solana research and portfolio tools.
ProofRails sits around the payment rail rather than replacing it. It turns onchain payments and paid API calls into receipts, delivery evidence, ISO 20022-style artifacts, signed evidence bundles and verifiable onchain commitments. We also integrate and operate that infrastructure for teams building payment and agent workflows.
At Flare I test and prototype new flows, build demos, write technical explanations and work directly with builders at hackathons and ecosystem programs. I’ve led workshops on composability and interoperability, and help translate new capabilities in data, cross-chain assets and XRPL-controlled actions into workflows developers can actually build with.
I also help shape the technical narratives around launches so the value is clear without flattening the underlying technology.
Technical explainers and essays on how blockchain systems work, what developers actually need, and what changes when software can hold keys and move money.
A five-part builder path from contracts and tooling through FTSO and FDC to FAssets and Smart Accounts, including why that order matters.
How EIP-3009 lets a user sign a USD₮0 transfer offchain while a relayer submits it on Flare and pays the gas.
What has to exist before an AI agent can safely pay or sign: protected keys, deterministic policy enforcement and an audit trail around every action.
Thoughts after 100+ pages of technical specs on the harsh part of blockchain infrastructure: finding real product-market fit and developer demand.
An XRPL payment turned into an ISO 20022 event with an evidence-bundle hash anchored on Flare, so EVM systems can verify and act on it.
My research in theoretical particle and astroparticle physics used cosmic-ray air showers, neutrinos and large detectors to search for new particles and phenomena beyond the Standard Model. The work spanned phenomenology, atmospheric particle production, Monte Carlo modelling and detector signatures, including analyses connected to Super-Kamiokande and future neutrino experiments.
Long-lived particles produced in cosmic-ray air showers and their signatures in large underground detectors.

Read paperI later moved into crypto through developer education and ecosystem work, first at Metis and now at Flare. My day-to-day is a mix of coding, prototyping, teaching, writing and using AI agents to get work done. I co-founded ProofRails and build ShipGuild alongside my work at Flare.
