builder — creator — founder, purple squirrel media
After a decade of full-time travel to 60+ countries, I turned the lens from adventure to infrastructure. Now I build decentralized media tools, ship open-source projects, and help creators own their content and audience.
I write TypeScript, Python, Rust, Ruby, Go, and whatever the problem demands. I deploy to edge networks, train models on Apple Silicon, and architect systems that don't need permission to run.
