Technology leadership & products
- Designed and built, single-handedly, an automated compliance platform for Digital Product Passports and circular-economy traceability in EU textile supply chains, from data model to public passport pages.
- Built automatic reading of supplier certificates and a mass-balance engine reconciling certified material volumes against declared production.
- Built an agentic AI system using tool use, RAG and MCP servers for compliance verification.
- Participant in the EuraTechnologies accelerator programme (Lille, 2026); member of Fashion Green Hub.
- Co-founded and architected an open-source blockchain infrastructure layer with fee-free transactions for projects delivering public value.
- Designed hybrid Substrate/EVM protocol standards and an open registry anchoring document fingerprints for independently verifiable proof, including DPP verification.
- Set company-wide smart-contract development standards for security, gas optimization and testing.
- Architected core systems including DeFi staking (Void), gamified NFT minting, AI request/payment infrastructure, asset and metadata registries, unified access management with a full-stack multisig wallet, a crowdfunding protocol and a token bridge.
- Evaluated external projects and designed tokenization systems: infrastructure, tokenomics and staking for a US project focused on AI ownership; and a New Zealand horse-syndicate model for fractional ownership of horses and their upkeep costs.
DAO design & participation across projects
Governance design, smart-contract development, DAO formation, and participation as a member or delegate. At Altered State Machine (New Zealand), designed governance and smart contracts for tokenized ownership of AI agents; the project later became part of Futureverse.
Contributed to The Root Network Layer 1, performed Substrate/Rust reviews, and mentored engineers on security and gas optimization.
- Led production of Heroes of Might and Magic V for Ubisoft across offices in Russia, Belarus, Cyprus and the United States; led large teams and managed multi-million-dollar budgets, delivering to schedule.
