Selected work

Previous Initiatives

Things I have helped build, research, ship, or preserve across Atlas Corp, Decentraland Analytics, The Miners Union, IBM financial-services developer patterns, and earlier work as it resurfaces.

NFTs, games, and web3 infrastructure

Atlas Corp

The Atlas shelf covers the public NFT and game work: Snarky Sharks, OpenSea-era experiments, Squares on Chain, and selected external pieces.

NFT communities

Snarky Sharks and Atlas NFT experiments

The Atlas Corp NFT era started with Snarky Sharks and grew into a run of collectible, community, and game-adjacent experiments.

  • Publicly viewable through the AtlasCorporation creator profile on OpenSea.
  • A practical laboratory for metadata, drops, community mechanics, and the strange social physics of early NFT projects.
On-chain games

Squares on Chain

A web3 football-squares game using verifiable randomness and on-chain sports-data plumbing to make the board auditable.

  • Integrated Chainlink VRF for score-number randomness.
  • Used Chainlink Data Feeds for NFL score data, turning a familiar party game into a transparent smart-contract protocol.
External pieces

Atlas public coverage

Selected public writing about Atlas work, including third-party coverage and the Atlas-authored Chainlink integration post.

  • CoinDesk worked with Atlas Corp data on its Decentraland active-user analysis.
  • Smart Liquidity syndicated the Atlas Chainlink VRF and Data Feeds integration announcement.

DCL metrics, grants, and activations

Decentraland Analytics

Decentraland Analytics collects the public metrics, funded DAO data work, archived writing, activations, and external reporting that used those datasets.

DCL metrics

Decentraland Analytics and grant records

Public data work around Decentraland users, events, wearables, catalysts, and DAO-funded infrastructure.

  • Turned catalyst and content-server data into usable public metrics for governance contributors and external reporters.
  • Folded the funded data aggregation, catalyst archival, and Atlas Analytics open-sourcing work into the same Decentraland Analytics record.
Research notes

Decentraland Analytics writing archive

Some early Decentraland Analytics writing no longer lives at the original site, but public archive traces still preserve pieces of the trail.

  • The May 2021 Lucky Number 7 roulette audit is available through the Internet Archive.
  • Additional posts can be added here as more public copies from the Decentraland Analytics era turn up.

Mining, finance, and early permissionless infrastructure

The Miners Union

The Miners Union shelf ties the public mining blog to the broader 2016-2019 turn: mining as infrastructure, energy and regulatory conflict, hardware economics, and the story drafts that turned those questions into politics and worldbuilding.

Community era

Miners Union

The Miners Union era was the bridge from quant work into Bitcoin mining: mining economics, hardware cycles, regulatory pressure, and the politics forming around permissionless infrastructure.

  • The archive keeps the original mining posts alongside Miners Union-era story work like The Segregated Witness.
  • Favorite/notable read: Identifying 100-Year-Old Mining Preferred Shares, a bridge between market structure, mining finance, and historical artifacts.

Portfolio analytics and IBM Cloud

IBM Financial Services Developer Patterns

IBM-era financial-services developer patterns around portfolio analytics, optimization, market scenarios, and news-aware workflows.

IBM Developer advocacy

IBM financial-services developer patterns

Portfolio analytics starter-kit work around IBM Cloud financial services: compute services, portfolio optimization, predictive market scenarios, and news-aware application patterns.
