Hi, I’m Oli — decentralised systems architect building practical crypto + explainable AI

I ship open-source systems that make identity, trust, and reasoning auditable, private, and fast. I care about code integrity, free expression, and useful math over hype.

What I’m building

• Shadowgraph — dPKI-powered self-sovereign identity with ZKML verifiability. Hypergraph reputation (EBSL), subjective trust, and diffusion modeling for high-signal recommendations.
• GödelOS — a symbolic-cognition agent runtime: composable modules, self-critique loops, verifiable planning, and a provenance-rich knowledge graph.
• Project Chimera — a psychometric engine for consented persona models and explainable scores; powers hiring tools and reputation-gated incentives.

Why sponsorship matters

Sponsorship lets me spend more hours on:

• Releases: fewer rough edges, more features landed.
• Documentation: real examples, threat models, benchmarks.
• Proofs & tests: ZKML (EZKL) circuits, cryptographic reviews, reproducible experiments.
• Local deployments: CPU-friendly builds and multilingual UX.

Near-term roadmap (next 90 days)

• Shadowgraph: ZK-attested claims → portable reputation vectors; airdrop gating demo.
• GödelOS: meta-reasoning verifier + hypergraph persistence; experiment harnesses.
• Chimera: consented “digital twin” artifacts + explainable scoring API.
• Docs: end-to-end reference apps; privacy and speech policy spelled out in plain English.

Principles

• Privacy-first and open source.
• Upholding free expression within lawful bounds.
• No black boxes where they don’t belong: provenance on decisions, measurable trade-offs.
• Benchmarks over adjectives.

What sponsors get

• Early builds & release previews
• Priority issues & RFC feedback
• Monthly engineering notes (changelogs, benchmarks, trade-off discussions)
• Office hours for higher tiers (architecture, ZKML, agent design)
• Credits in READMEs and demo apps (if you want it)

How I work

I keep the stack lean: TypeScript/Python, ONNX/EZKL, NumPy/PyTorch where warranted, GraphQL/REST gateways, verifiable events, and small, testable modules. Commits > promises.

If you want auditable identity, trust you can reason about, and agents you can interrogate, you’re in the right place. Your backing turns ideas into shipped code and proofs.
