The convergence story.

Today SYNCPROOF is a layer-1 blockchain services and development company focused on virtual agent economies and digital identity. My role is Lead Systems Designer (Agentic & Identity), carrying the same thread into new infrastructure.

I worked on Verus DeFi integrations involving MEV-free fair-price execution and parallel-execution testing. The focus was testing whether decentralized execution could preserve fair pricing while processing activity in parallel, without giving an unseen intermediary an advantage.

Supply-chain integration using blockchains and web services to provide sustainable, transparent truth for the public good.

Komodo Platform work combined open-source blockchain engineering with product and adoption strategy: scaling solutions, decentralised exchange, interoperable smart contracts, decentralised governance, social-venture funding, incentives, and participation rewards. The role moved between coding and testing with engineers and roadmap-setting with marketing and community teams.

As a systems engineer for the Komodo blockchain security service, I supported Komodo Pioneers Organization notary nodes across the EU and Southern Hemisphere. The global 64-node network coordinated multisignature transactions and anchored the security of more than 50 blockchain projects to the Bitcoin network, with a 99.99% uptime target.

Hosted telecom and carrier-grade load testing taught me to push systems until their failure modes became visible — before customers found them in production.

Omnium is a group of artists, designers, programmers, writers, and academics from different countries exploring online collaborative communities. Formed in 1998, the Research Group developed online environments for art and design schools, then expanded into e-learning, social, and business software. I was the sysadmin in 2009, supporting this work from the College of Fine Arts at UNSW.

I co-founded Alertee with Richard Matthews of Leda Security Products. Alertee turned automated alerts from security and fire alarms, SCADA machinery, and BACnet equipment into a human response through conference calls. Its prepaid, pay-per-use model and telecom billing integration made a new class of response service practical for industry partners.

For eight years I deployed and ran communications for the media tent at the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, where failure meant losing contact with people at sea.

A hospital IT conversation captured a larger shift: from asking whether a network existed to accepting that the network would become the infrastructure everything depended on.

I wrote one of the first open-source CSTA implementations in Java, helping bridge proprietary PBX systems and IP networks. It was cited in Asterisk: The Future of Telephony.
