Good fit

Where I add the most

AI-native startups

You need the AI-infrastructure layer built for real — inference, RAG, agents — not glued together from someone else's API.

Web3 & fintech

High-stakes reliability: node/validator ops, HA databases, secrets, exchange/DEX and custodial-wallet infrastructure.

Teams that need a 0→1

Someone who can own a system from empty repo to production, and set the technical direction while doing it.
