// about
Engineering Foundation
Over a decade building scalable systems at enterprise scale. Contributed to large-scale infrastructure with focus on reliability, security, and performance. This engineering discipline informs how I evaluate protocols and governance decisions.
Cypherpunk Ethos
Privacy is not about having something to hide—it's about having something to protect. Decentralized systems as tools for human freedom, resistance to surveillance capitalism, and exit from fragile fiat systems. Code is speech. Encryption is a right.
Solarpunk ☀️ & Lunarpunk 🌙
Solarpunk: An optimistic vision—building sustainable, community-owned systems in the open.
Transparent governance, regenerative economics, and technology that empowers rather than extracts.
Lunarpunk: The necessary shadow—privacy as resistance, encryption as a shield,
anonymity as protection. Not everything should be visible. Some things must stay dark to stay free.
I believe in both. Build in the light, protect in the dark.
// journey
Down the Rabbit Hole
First exposure to blockchain. Self-taught deep-dive into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto ecosystem. Building conviction in decentralized systems.
Building Conviction
Survived the bear market. Deepened understanding of DeFi protocols, tokenomics, and onchain mechanics. Studied governance models. Accumulated through conviction.
Governance Era Begins
Day 1 delegate (Crypt Keeper) for Cryptex DAO. Transitioned from passive holder to active governance participant. Full commitment to decentralized coordination.
Deep Governance & Beyond
Expanded: Liquidity SubDAO multisig signer, treasury decisions, protocol growth. Advocating onchain indexes, institutional-grade products, sustainable decentralization.

Focus Areas
// insights
"DAOs are superior coordination mechanisms for freedom and innovation. Despite criticism, onchain governance enables transparency and accountability that traditional structures cannot match."
— On DAOs
"Privacy technology is not optional—it's essential infrastructure for a free society. Decentralization without privacy is just distributed surveillance."
— On Privacy
"The best protocols are built through sustained community participation, not hype cycles. Long-term commitment beats short-term speculation every time."
