About Me

The builder behind the code

I'm a founder, builder, and self-taught developer who believes the best products come from truly understanding the problem you're solving.

After years in web development and watching crypto evolve, I spotted a gap: social platforms that actually get the crypto community. That's why I built CrypTok — a place where traders, investors, and enthusiasts connect, share insights, and access real-time market data without the noise.

I handle everything from server infrastructure to frontend design — plus self-hosted LLMs and custom AI models on my own GPUs, blockchain engineering on Solana, and post-quantum key exchange running across my production fleet. When something breaks at 3 AM, I'm the one fixing it. That's the founder life, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
