Web3 Researcher, Open-Source Contributor & Community Builder

I build at the intersection of blockchain, autonomous AI agents, and cryptographic coordination — shipping real code across multiple ecosystems and helping communities grow.

Core Interests:

• Autonomous AI Agents — Hermes Agent, Fortytwo P2P inference, OM1 robotics
• DeFi & On-Chain Intelligence — Sentiment oracles, arbitrage systems, verifiable AI inference
• Blockchain Infrastructure — Stacks/sBTC, Miden ZK rollups, Fhenix FHE
• Open-Source Ecosystem Building — Early contributor positioning in emerging protocols

Current Projects:

• HREA (Hermes Real Estate Agent) — Autonomous real estate investment analyst built on Nous Research's Hermes Agent
• sBTC Sentinel — AI-powered Bitcoin sentiment oracle for the Stacks ecosystem
• Sentino — Crypto sentiment analysis bot powered by OpenGradient's verifiable AI inference
• FreelancerDisputeResolver — GenLayer intelligent contract for decentralized dispute resolution

I actively contribute code, documentation fixes, bug reports, and improvements across multiple ecosystems:

Recent Contributions:

• Nous Research — Hermes Agent installation guide & hackathon build (HREA)
• GenLayer — FreelancerDisputeResolver intelligent contract (PR #26)
• Pod Network — Solidity compatibility fixes for V1 devnet (PR #179)
• OpenGradient — BitQuant documentation & bug fixes (first PR merged by core team)
• Fhenix Protocol — First bug report on shielded stablecoin PoC
• 0xMiden — Miden Node & Playground contributions

Track Record:

• Active PRs across 6+ ecosystems — Nous, GenLayer, OpenGradient, Stacks, Fhenix, Pod Network
• 100% merge rate on OpenGradient SDK contributions
• Documentation-first approach — helping developers onboard faster
• Early contributor in emerging protocols — shipping before the crowd arrives
