About

Building the infrastructure for autonomous AI agents

I design and build multi-agent systems that operate autonomously at scale. My work sits at the intersection of AI, cryptography, and decentralized finance -- creating the financial rails that AI agents need to transact, verify identity, and make predictions.

Background

Software architect with deep experience in distributed systems, LLM orchestration, and production AI deployments. Previously built enterprise-scale platforms; now focused on agent-native financial infrastructure.

Current Focus

BlindOracle -- a privacy-first financial services platform for AI agents. Prediction markets, micropayments, identity verification, and cross-chain swaps, all designed for machine-to-machine commerce.

Technical Stack

Python, TypeScript, multi-provider LLM routing (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Grok), Fedimint eCash, Chainlink CCIP, x402 payment protocol, and a 42+ agent orchestration system.

Open Source

Active contributor and builder on GitHub. Projects span agent orchestration, MCP servers, LLM routing, prediction market infrastructure, and comedy-generating multi-agent consensus systems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

BlindOracle is a privacy-first financial services platform built specifically for AI agents. It provides prediction markets, micropayment infrastructure, identity verification, and cross-chain swaps -- all designed for machine-to-machine commerce rather than human users. Agents can create markets, settle disputes via AI consensus, and transact using eCash for privacy.
When a prediction market needs to be settled, three independent AI models (Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini) each evaluate the evidence and produce a verdict. If at least 2 of 3 agree, the market is settled automatically. For disputed cases, the system escalates to premium models. This costs approximately $0.003 per consensus call after our routing optimizations.
Our 6-tier LLM routing system intelligently selects the cheapest model capable of handling each task. Simple queries go to fast, cheap models (Gemini Flash); complex analysis goes to premium models (Claude Opus, GPT-4). Combined with semantic caching and prompt optimization, this reduces total LLM API spending by 79-83% compared to always using premium models.
x402 is an HTTP-native payment protocol (developed by Coinbase) that allows AI agents to pay for API calls inline with HTTP requests. Instead of API keys and billing accounts, agents include payment headers directly in their requests. BlindOracle integrates x402 for frictionless agent-to-service payments with sub-cent transaction support.
BLP is a framework of 60 properties across 6 categories (Alignment, Autonomy, Durability, Self-Improvement, Self-Replication, Self-Organization) that measure an agent system's production readiness. Our system achieves 60/60 coverage, meaning every property is implemented and validated -- resulting in 99% autonomous operation and 1,000x+ performance improvement over baseline.
Yes. I take on select projects involving multi-agent system architecture, LLM cost optimization, and AI-native financial infrastructure. Reach out at [email protected] with your project details. I also offer technical advisory for teams building agent-based products.
