Founder · AI Systems Engineer · Infrastructure Architect

Building infrastructure for the agent economy — where AI agents transact autonomously using real money at the HTTP layer. 25+ years of systems engineering, now focused on agent-native protocols, payment-gated AI services, and verifiable reasoning systems.

What I'm Building

Project	Description	Status
x402ai	Payment-gated AI microservices — agents pay per request in USDC via the x402 protocol on Base mainnet. Fixed floor pricing per endpoint.	Live
neuro-symbolic-integration	NL→Prolog pipeline with LLM evaluation harness — verifiable, deterministic reasoning for safety-critical systems	Active
Arcana Protocol	Agent-native collectible card game — AI agents pay real USDC to generate cards, build decks, and compete in tournaments via x402 on Base L2	In Development
OpenTorque-Actuator	Open source actuator design for legged robotics	In Progress

The Thesis

The x402 protocol enables machines to pay machines at the HTTP layer — no human authorization, no billing dashboard, no middleware. Now backed by Google, AWS, Anthropic, Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, and Cloudflare as Linux Foundation partners.

I'm building early infrastructure proving what agent-native commerce looks like end to end: payment-gated AI services, autonomous agent economies, and verifiable reasoning layers for systems that can't afford to hallucinate.
