your ai workspace

a little
context

worked as community manager for some early crypto companies. led ico launch campaigns and designed token models through my company cryptodex.

studied and practiced yoga while speaking about token economics at conferences around the world. became interested community currencies and thinking a lot about how to design better economic systems.

here is a wall street journal article from 2017 of me talking about how tokenization will reinvent all financial markets

started my first startup, native, to give everyone with a facebook group a community currency and dao. way too early.

moved to europe, started making clothes, collecting art, and spending few months a year in nepal continuing tibetan buddhism and yoga studies.

now im building a agentic programming interface and harness for my workflow called TATASTU to build better, faster (stronger) and launch projects run mostly by agents.

im interested in ideas that help people make money doing the things they love rather than the things they feel like they have to do.
