🚀 About Me
I'm an MSc Artificial Intelligence graduate (Leiden University) and hands-on AI builder passionate about creating accountable, transparent, and powerful AI tools — especially in developer workflows, prompt governance, and intelligent systems.
My latest project: Blame Prompt — “Git blame for the AI age” — a pure Rust CLI that locally tracks every prompt behind generated code. No telemetry, no servers — just clear visibility into intent, hallucinations, and prompt patterns to debug AI-assisted development like never before.
Built at the Anthropic × Replit × Lightspeed Hackathon (Build India, Feb 2026).
With a strong foundation in institutional DeFi and BTCfi as Co-Founder & CTO of Caddy Finance (pre-seed backed by Brinc & XDC Network, QUBIC Labs Accelerator), I've spent years building yield vaults, fixed-income products, and RFQ-powered Bitcoin derivatives that bridge TradFi discipline into non-custodial finance.
Now, I'm excitedly shifting focus toward AI — exploring AI agents, prompt engineering, ML-powered risk & decision systems, on-chain intelligence, and how AI can supercharge (or re-define) stratified finance, developer tooling, and beyond.
Nomadic founder life — lived & worked in 16+ countries (extended time in Netherlands, Germany, Southeast Asia) — has sharpened my ability to spot real problems fast and design globally scalable solutions across cultures, regulations, and markets.
Previously: Ex-CTO @ walletzk.app (ZKP wallet | Mina Foundation grantee).
