I'm a AI/Web3 Engineer & Co-Founder based in San Francisco 🌉, with roots in South Africa's tech ecosystem. I build at the intersection of cryptography, decentralized finance, and AI-driven automation.
- 🔭 Currently building Orbitex — a decentralized perpetual swaps exchange on Base network
- 🛡️ Core research: crosschain Zero Knowledge Proof circuits, privacy-preserving computation, and blockchain co-design
- 🤖 Applied AI: agentic systems, zkML (verifiable ML), and AI-powered DeFi protocols
- 🌍 Co-Founder of Vsites — agentic growth marketing for Fortune 500 teams
- 💬 Ask me about: ZK proofs, EVM/ERC-4337, DeFi protocol design, zkML, cross-chain interoperability
