Fractional Product & IP Strategist | Zero-to-One Builder | Deep Tech Inventor
I bring 20+ years of innovation across blockchain, AI, RegTech, adaptive systems, and hardwareโ€”from patented decentralized networks (pre-Bitcoin) to real-time MiCA-compliant stablecoin validation. I build what doesnโ€™t exist yetโ€”then protect it with IP and turn it into product-market fit.

Highlights: A patented technologist actively filing multiple IP assets:
โ€ข Patented one of the worldโ€™s earliest decentralized peer-to-peer network architectures (2002), six years before the Bitcoin whitepaper.
โ€ข Designed and filed a patent on โ€œphygitalโ€ (physical + digital) NFT Marketing Infrastructure in 2001.
โ€ข Invented synthetic computing, adaptive compliance frameworks, and blockchain validation tech built to exceed MiCA compliance.
โ€ข Authored 70+ educational publications, deployable tools, APIs, and crypto learning systems.
โ€ข Patentfor a Crystal Validatorโ„ข layer for stablecoinsโ€”enabling audit-grade, MiCA-ready reserve validation (Article 57, Article 72, and Article 90), with no token forking.
โ€ข Invented an AI-based adaptive feedback loop for real-time system compliance and monitoring.
โ€ข Invented for modular visual NFT authentication to link blockchain to real-world logistics, retail, and identity verification.
โ€ข Led development of a novel global delivery app introducing features absent from other platforms at launch.
โ€ข Designed a 360ยฐ immersive eyewear commerce platform, integrating content monetization and streaming into the hardware stack

I work with founders, VCs, and product teams to:
โ†’ Validate and commercialize novel ideas
โ†’ Turn IP into defensible, fundable ventures
โ†’ Lead MVP and roadmap from zero to scale

Letโ€™s connect if your project requires deep execution.

Available for short-term consulting, product validation, interim product leadership and IP-to-product strategy. Typical rate: $100โ€“$150/hr depending on scope.
