I co-founded SaucerSwap, a decentralized exchange protocol on Hedera that has done $6B+ in trading volume. My work centres on tokenomics and governance, and I serve as COO of DUNA Activities, which supports the SaucerSwap DAO. I’m currently based in London.

I’m interested in philosophical pessimism, accelerationism, technics, posthumanism, and artificial intelligence, among other things. I write here about these subjects and whatever else holds my attention.
