🚀 About Me

With over two decades in recruitment, executive search, marketing, and consulting, I help founders, funds, and teams scale globally.

In 2016, I discovered Bitcoin and blockchain and immediately recognized their potential to reshape finance, ownership, and work itself. Since then, I’ve been deeply involved in building the crypto talent ecosystem - connecting innovators with builders, investors, and visionaries shaping the future of money, infrastructure, and decentralized technology.

Founder - DamageBDD - Behavior Verification At Planetary Scale. ⩓ ₿ 🗲 Æ. zap me npub1zmg3gvpasgp3zkgceg62yg8fyhqz9sy3dqt45kkwt60nkctyp9rs9wyppc

🚀 **Founder of DamageBDD | Inventor of ECAI | Architect of ERM | Redefining AI & Software Engineering**  

🔹 **Breaking the AI Paradigm with ECAI**  
🔹 **Revolutionizing Software Testing & Verification with DamageBDD**  
🔹 **Building the Future of Mobile Systems with ERM**  

I don’t build products—I **build the future**.  

For over a decade, I have been pushing the boundaries of software engineering, cryptography, and AI, **independent of Big Tech and the constraints of corporate bureaucracy**. My work is not about incremental progress—it’s about redefining how intelligence, verification, and computing fundamentally operate.  

### **🌎 ECAI: Structured Intelligence—AI Without Hallucinations**  
I architected **Elliptic Curve AI (ECAI)**, a cryptographically structured intelligence model that eliminates the need for probabilistic AI like LLMs. **No training, no hallucinations, no black-box guesswork**—just pure, deterministic computation with cryptographic verifiability. **AI is no longer a probability game—it is now structured, efficient, and unstoppable.**  

### **✅ DamageBDD: The Ultimate Test Verification System**  
DamageBDD is the **convergence of AI-driven verification and software testing**. It ensures deterministic execution of tests, making failures traceable, verifiable, and automatable. **With ECAI integration, DamageBDD goes beyond conventional testing—turning verification into structured intelligence itself.**  

### **📱 ERM: The First Linux-Based OS Engineered with ECAI**  
ERM (Erlang Mobile) is the **first operating system built on the principles of ECAI knowledge NFTs**, creating a decentralized, mathematically verifiable computing ecosystem. It redefines mobile computing with **self-owned, structured intelligence at its core**.  

🔥 **Big Tech didn’t build this. I did.**  
🔥 **I don’t follow trends—I create them.**  
🔥 **The future isn’t coming. It’s already here.**  

If you want **AI that works, software that verifies itself, and a mobile ecosystem that doesn’t rely on centralized control**—let’s talk.
