Work With Me

I bring fifteen years of experience at the intersection of protocol design, experimental economics, and digital culture to organizations navigating complex technological and strategic terrain.

My background spans early smart contract development at Consensys, protocol architecture for projects like Circles UBI and Culturestake, and an ongoing artistic practice exhibited at MoMA, Centre Pompidou, and Kunsthaus Zürich. This combination means I approach technical problems with conceptual rigor and strategic questions with hands-on implementation knowledge. You can learn more about my perspective on substack where I write monthly about software.

What I Offer

Research & Strategy

Deep dives into emerging technologies, their cultural implications, and strategic positioning. I help organizations understand not just what's technically possible but what's meaningful—and how to communicate it.

Protocol & Product Consulting

From economic mechanisms to generative systems, I work with teams building at the edges of what software can do. Particular expertise in projects involving collective coordination, digital ownership, and human-machine interaction.

Workshops & Keynotes

I speak on decentralization, digital culture, machine learning, and the politics of technical systems. Recent engagements include Li-Ma Amsterdam and Transmediale.

Who This Is For

I work best with organizations who are building something genuinely new and need a collaborator who can hold both technical depth and broader cultural context. Past clients and collaborators have included research labs, foundations, cultural institutions, and technology companies at various stages.

I'm not the right fit for projects that need a conventional marketing strategy or want someone to validate decisions already made.
