For me, art and engineering have always been the same pursuit. My design philosophy is simple: I don't make bricks you can smoke out of. I design for function first and don't stop until the form is right, believing that the union of the two is the highest expression of art.

But my work goes beyond the glass. I have dedicated myself to staying competent in a changing world, building a comprehensive distributed compute network and the "Sovereign AI Stack" from the ground up.

My journey hasn't been linear. My drive comes from a hard truth I learned the hard way. Before prison, I thought I was beating the system with its own rules. After, I realized those rules are only for us—the system doesn't play by them. And that’s okay. I understand the playing field now. My goal is to prove to my family and community that we don’t have to be slaves. Freedom is the absence of Reliance. I intend to be free, and I’m building the tools to make us all free.
