Full-stack developer working at the intersection of distributed architecture and collective intelligence. I build the tools, protocols, and knowledge that let people coordinate value without middlemen, on Holochain, hREA, and the ValueFlows ontology.

Most software concentrates power. I'm interested in the opposite: agent-centric systems where data, governance, and economic value stay with the people who create them. That means Holochain instead of blockchains, ValueFlows / REA instead of ledgers, and open-source instead of platforms. I write about it, teach it, and ship it.
- 🔗 P2P & distributed systems: Holochain hApps, agent-centric data, local-first
- 📊 Alternative economics: hREA, ValueFlows, Open Value Networks, resource governance
- 🤖 AI-assisted development: agent skills & tooling that make niche domains accessible to LLMs
- 🌍 Knowledge as commons: digital gardens, first-principles pedagogy, writing in public
Core:
P2P & Distributed:
Frontend & Tooling:
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| 🏛️ Nondominium | Holochain hApp for P2P resource governance with a Private Participation Receipts (PPR) system. Rust ValueFlows WASM |
| 🏪 Requests & Offers | Holochain P2P marketplace built on hREA economic protocols, 7-layer Effect-TS architecture. Rust Svelte hREA |
| 🧩 Holochain Agent Skill | Open-standard AI coding skill for Holochain that works across Claude Code, Copilot, and Cursor. Agent Skills Holochain |
| 🌱 Alternef Digital Garden | Public knowledge ecosystem on P2P systems, economics & digital permaculture. Quartz Knowledge Commons |
Also exploring: music-as-code (a Rust DSL for music) · effect-from-first-principles (Red Book style Effect-TS) · valueflows-agent-skill
Mostly building with: Rust · Svelte / SvelteKit · TypeScript · Holochain · Effect-TS
I'm open to collaboration and select freelance work around Holochain, hREA / ValueFlows, distributed-systems architecture, and AI-assisted development for niche domains. If you're working on peer-to-peer coordination, cooperative platforms, or alternative economic infrastructure, I'd love to talk.
