§ 02prior work

Before that: an independent Web3 practice. Smart contracts for seven-plus cryptocurrencies. An order book and matching engine for an exchange. Four whitepapers. On-chain analysis and technical research. Code that outlives the client relationship.

No résumé filler. No thought-leadership.

§ 03the inquiry continues

The technical work is only one part of the inquiry.

My interests include Advaita Vedanta, Kashmir Shaivism, contemplative practice, and the nature of consciousness. I am less interested in collecting philosophical ideas than in examining what they reveal in experience.

I write about the Self, attention, identity, and the intersections between ancient philosophical traditions and contemporary technology.

Root Access

Binary Bodhi

Written between Kerala and the hills of Nepal, Root Access explores the distance between insight and embodiment — where philosophical understanding meets the demands of lived experience.

§ 05about

A practice of building and seeing clearly.

I work across software, algorithms, and decentralized systems. Alongside this work runs a longer inquiry into consciousness, non-duality, and contemplative traditions.

I am interested in systems that can be tested, ideas that withstand scrutiny, and experiences that change how a question is understood.

Some of that work becomes software. Some becomes writing. Some remains an open question.
