I’m a Protocol Engineer passionate about decentralization, worker ownership, and governance design.

I’ve been involved with developing many DAOs with various models and am currently developing Poa, a no-code DAO builder geared towards orgs that are fully owned by the community and not by capital.

I hope to build spaces for founders interested in community ownership to experiment and innovate quickly with new governance models.

Perpetual Organizations (POs) are fully worker-owned, unstoppable DAO. Unlike traditional DAOs, POs don’t allow members to buy tokens. Instead, members earn tokens by contributing or are granted direct democracy tokens by joining as a community member. You can learn more about these models and hybrid voting here.

The Perpetual Organization Protocol is a set of smart contracts that allows a user to deploy a custom Perpetual Organization that is automatically indexed by the subgraph.

The Perpetual Organization Architect is a no-code AI tool built on top of the protocol that helps users define the features they want in their Perpetual Organization and deploys the PO for them.

The current version (AlphaV3) guides the user through decisions like role distribution, governance, and voting design. Based on the user's selections, it deploys a customized Perpetual Organization that is fully decentralized in nature.

A DAO and task manager for the University of Kansas Blockchain Institute with innovative participation based voting system (Project Pinned)

My Role: I've been the lead designer and developer of this project (99% of contribution) building the smart contracts, subgraph, and front end from scratch. Put hundreds of hours into this focusing on making as decentralized as possible while innovating in the governance design

A blockchain based attendance reward system to redeem attendance for coupons at local businesses. Built to protect user privacy but still verify attendance. App and website. (Pinned Project)

My Role: I designed the decentralized tech stack and smart contract protocol and have mainly been working on developing the subgraph and connecting everything to the front end.

University of Kansas Blockchain Institute (2024):

• After serving as the 2023 VP of Engineering, I have remained connected with the community as an advisor.
• I help teach classes as a guest speaker, help maintain the DAO, and support students in their growth as young blockchain developers

Kansas Blockchain Fellowship (Summer 2024):

• I mentored 16 students over the summer as they built their capstone projects and judged the projects in the final hackathon submission.
• I taught two classes: Applications of Blockchain and Overview of Industry, where I introduced students to real world applications of blockchain. I also assisted a dApp Development Workshop.
