toronto · building at the edges of AI, crypto, and markets
i ship opinionated v1s into emerging categories before they have answers. infinitely curious, delusional optimist — would rather be wrong fast than right late.
now building phonegoblin — run a content factory from your desk. mount any android, it becomes a node in your fleet. real device, real taps, indistinguishable from a human's. one phone or a hundred. no emulators, no cloud phones, no modded APKs.
recently shipped humanplane (chart room for prediction markets — kalshi grant recipient / builder fellow, $250k+ volume) and moltlaunch (fiverr for agents — $50M+ volume, $300K+ platform revenue). before that, sold two startups: realmplay (character AI on fine-tuned llama on consumer GPUs, sold to west mountain ai) and soulbazaar (autonomous social agents for web3, post-acq token hit $5M+ mcap). thoughts and projects at sculpt.fun.
3+ years at instacart — senior SWE / tech lead for enterprise ads. scaled ad measurement and experimentation, led 10+ engineers. before that: coinbase, seatgeek, pagerduty, deliverr. CS @ waterloo.
been in AI a while. for realmplay productionized a fine-tuned llama on rented 3090s via vast.ai, built a serving API on exllama, used a DO droplet + nginx as load balancer — this was before vLLM existed. extended context from 4K to 16K using SuperHOT right when RoPE scaling was discovered. lately in ML/RL and original research: LACUNA (RL agent trading 15-min polymarket crypto markets on binance flow), bankai (1-bit LLM adaptation via XOR patches), veilstream (PASP — cryptographic streaming reversal that closes a false-attribution attack prior libraries silently have).
deep in crypto too. mining ETH at $35 in 2016, dev'd a token to $50M+ mcap, been around every cycle since.
also: hackathon wins, a 10M-view automated youtube channel, youtube thumbnail copilot with paying customers, LoRA marketplaces, and a long tail of side quests in between.
