description: |
|
||
- Founded the startup and successfully led executive fundraising efforts, securing $4.7M in capital to build a peer-to-peer identity and asset management system leveraging decentralized identifiers (DIDs), WebAuthn, and IPFS.
|
||
- Directed technical strategy across 7 full-time staff (including a technical writer) and two specialist agencies — a 6-person token-economics team and a 6-engineer mobile team — with all reporting lines direct to CEO, co-developing a React Native mobile chat application powered by the decentralized Matrix protocol.
|
||
- Architected a custom Layer 1 blockchain using the Cosmos SDK, optimizing data serialization and network communication with Protobufs.
|
||
- Operated the Sonr Testnet across 4 geographically distributed validator nodes (San Francisco, New York, Virginia, Asia) with 4+ environments and 4 distinct validator profiles secured via KMS, sustaining 99% operational uptime; ran the initial DevNet on Google Cloud and orchestrated Beam's self-hosted Matrix homeserver with Ansible, alongside Kubernetes, Docker, and Terraform infrastructure.
|
||
- Drove massive open-source community growth, achieving the 4th highest global GitHub contributions (Oct 2021 – Oct 2022) for the platform's MVP, and successfully onboarding over 120 first-time blockchain developers to the Motor SDKs during DevNet.
|
||
- Actively shaped global web standards as a W3C Working Group Member for DIDs, WebAuthn, and WebAssembly (WASM); implemented the DID specification to full spec compliance and built the first W3C-conformant WebAuthn implementation tied to DIDs recorded on a blockchain, enabling passkey-based wallet identity.
|
||
- Pivoted the company to B2B (2026), leading customer discovery for a white-label wallet system positioned as an open-source alternative to Privy, while winding down consumer operations.
