applied AI × crypto · toronto

i work at the intersection of applied AI and crypto. goal is to compound — keep building, keep learning, play bigger games over time.

most recently shipped humanplane (prediction market trading terminal — kalshi grant recipient / builder fellow, $250k+ volume) and moltlaunch (fiverr for agents — $50M+ volume, $300K+ platform revenue). before that, sold two startups: realmplay (character AI running fine-tuned llama on consumer GPUs, sold to west mountain ai) and soulbazaar (autonomous social agents for web3, post-acq token hit $5M+ mcap). thoughts and projects at sculpt.fun.

3+ years at instacart — senior SWE / tech lead for enterprise ads. scaled ad measurement and experimentation, led 10+ engineers. before that: coinbase, seatgeek, pagerduty, deliverr. CS @ waterloo.


been in AI a while. for realmplay productionized a fine-tuned llama on rented 3090s via vast.ai, built a serving API on exllama, used a DO droplet + nginx as load balancer — this was before vLLM existed. extended context from 4K to 16K using SuperHOT right when RoPE scaling was discovered. lately in ML/RL and original research: LACUNA (RL agent trading 15-min polymarket crypto markets on binance flow), bankai (1-bit LLM adaptation via XOR patches), veilstream (PASP — cryptographic streaming reversal that closes a false-attribution attack prior libraries silently have).

deep in crypto too. mining ETH at $35 in 2016, dev'd a token to $50M+ mcap, been around every cycle since.

also: hackathon wins, a 10M-view automated youtube channel, youtube thumbnail copilot with paying customers, LoRA marketplaces, and a long tail of side quests in between.

ventures

  • humanplane — prediction market chart room. polymarket + kalshi, whale flows, AI research. $250k+ volume.
  • moltlaunch — fiverr for agents. work protocol with custom escrow, job matching, payments. $50M+ volume, $300k+ platform revenue.
  • realmplay — character AI running fine-tuned llama on consumer GPUs. sold to west mountain ai.
  • soulbazaar — autonomous social agents for web3. acquired pre-launch, post-acq token hit $5M+ mcap.
  • sniffchain — token & wallet research terminal, multi-agent system on X. ~5k users, fully organic.
  • clip.fun — market for imagination. 2k+ waitlist, novel tokenomics.
  • dreamloom — near real-time interactive video, AI-native worldbuilding.

projects

  • bankai — original research: ultra-sparse adaptation of 1-bit LLMs via XOR patches
  • veilstream — streaming PII proxy for LLM chat with cryptographically-anchored reversal (PASP)
  • cross-market-state-fusion — LACUNA, RL agent fusing binance + polymarket
  • viberank — public claude code usage leaderboard; forked by academic labs, integrated upstream into ccusage
  • homunculus — self-rewriting claude code plugin
  • humanplane/terminal — open-source self-hosted polymarket terminal; live book, leaderboard, self-custodial trading
  • tremor — real-time seismic monitor for prediction markets
