Work and projects
How can technology help people transact, identify themselves, form relationships, and use applications without becoming dependent on a new institutional silo every time? Each project below is part of my attempt to answer that.
I founded Project Babbage to make identity, permissions, payments, data, and applications work around the user. Today our team builds wallet infrastructure, overlay services, developer tools, education, and real applications around that architecture.
With Tone Engel and Brayden Langley, I coauthored the unified, vendor-neutral, open wallet-to-application interface. It gives applications one consistent way to request user-authorized payments, signatures, encryption, certificates, tokens, and wallet data.
Gateway began in 2018 as a Bitcoin Cash merchant-payment project. I revived the same basic idea for the BRC-100 ecosystem: simple payment buttons and internet payment infrastructure built around user-controlled wallets and BSV.
A recursive structure for carrying a transaction with the ancestry and proof material needed for SPV evaluation.
Relationship-specific cryptographic keys for private payments, signatures, encryption, and extensible protocols.
A person-to-person payment approach combining derived keys, transaction data, and recipient authentication.
A stable application boundary for wallet permissions, actions, identity, encryption, certificates, baskets, and payments.
Federated services that discover and track the Bitcoin outputs relevant to a particular application or protocol.
An experimental architecture using chained transactions and scripts to represent evolving computational state.
Led a technical team of roughly four to five people building non-custodial mobile and desktop wallets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and BSV. Together, we built ambitious software, and I remain grateful for the team and what the experience taught me about leadership and complex delivery.
Built an open-source Bitcoin Cash payment processor with merchant accounts, buttons, notifications, callbacks, and direct payment to merchant-controlled addresses.
Explored a censorship-resistant social and content marketplace using Bitcoin Cash and IPFS.
My North Medford High School senior project: a private social-network prototype using ring signatures, public-key cryptography, and encrypted communication.
FlatForm, FireWars, and ADIKSHIN were imperfect, runnable proof that I could turn an idea into software.
