I launched my first website when I was 11 years old. Web development was the most accessible path for me to learn software development, and I still love the web for its openness and freedom. I have always been interested in consequential software and the link between the digital and physical worlds and I believe that Satoshi discovered it with the first widely adopted application of proof-of-work (bitcoin). I am currently researching proof-of-work for other purposes, most notably cyberspace, which is a protocol built on nostr for a truly consequential finite digital space based on proof-of-work that overlays on top of reality as a superset of geospatial coordinate systems. I think there is a lot of research to be done in this area and I think it all compliments bitcoin and an energy-maximalist society rather than competing with it.
I found nostr.md in 2021 when I was researching lightning and found nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 's github. I was immediately hooked. I made my first permanent pubkey in Feb 2022, which I burned a while later for this current one.
In my free time I like to go to Mass, shoot guns, play and code video games, write sci-fi, and hang out with friends.
