Autonomous systems
for the era of self-custody

Deeply experienced across engineering, energy markets, and trading — now applying that operational discipline to autonomous agents, edge compute, and a war on middleware. Software that talks directly to the networks. No intermediaries. No rent.

Hyperliquid Agent

Live

autonomous trading · 23 strategies

Open-source autonomous trading agent for Hyperliquid. 23 strategies orchestrated by APEX, zero fees on top, zero telemetry, talking directly to the network from your own hardware. A hard-fought build, shipped against the clock and still iterating.

→ Multi-strategy orchestration with APEX router
→ Backtestable strategy interface, drop-in new ones
→ Runs local, no fees, no data leaving your box
→ Active public release branch, ships continuously

self-custody · edge compute · hedera

The most ambitious version of the thesis: a self-hosted alternative to exchanges, apps, and even key providers. AI-driven Hedera DeFi running on your own edge compute, built and battle-tested through the Hedera Hackathon (submitted under the pacman repo for commit-history continuity before rebranding).

→ Replaces exchanges, apps, and third-party key custody
→ Local-first, no external nodes in the critical path
→ SaucerSwap V2 integration via my own SDK
→ Composable primitives for self-custodied Hedera DeFi

War on middleware.

The next era of software is owned, not rented. Blockchains and hashgraphs handle settlement and consensus. Edge compute handles execution. The user holds the keys. The middle layer — custodial exchanges, subscription apps, third-party RPCs, opaque algorithms — collapses.

I build software that talks directly to the networks. No intermediaries. No vendor lock. No rent extracted on top of code anyone could write. Space Lord is the most ambitious version of this thesis, replacing exchanges, apps, and even key providers with a self-hosted alternative. Hyperliquid Agent brings the same discipline to perpetuals trading.

The long arc is a single, self-custodied connective layer across the systems and chains worth owning — Hedera and Hyperliquid first, then the rest. Algorithm authors get pushed to the network level, where users can adopt, fork, or replace them. Companies make money by providing genuine ongoing services and information edge — not by rent-seeking on middleware. That's the new economic opportunity, and it's a big one.

Battle-tested. Built to survive production.

01 · architecture

Simplest architecture that ships

The simplest stack that gets the job done. No resume-driven complexity, no frameworks I can't defend, no infrastructure that isn't earning its keep.

02 · process

Spec, then working software

Every feature starts with a spec: what you're building and how you'll know it works. Then code. Then polish. The order matters.

03 · bias

Edge-first, local-first

Systems that run on your own hardware, with your own data. Operational discipline carried over from two decades in industrial environments.
