Co-founder & CTO

Remote, US

Summary

As Co-founder & CTO at Skynet DAO, I architected and developed a decentralized AI runtime and a high-performance Rust-based desktop application for orchestrating open-source models that could be accessed from anywhere, anytime. I designed and connected quantized models on CPUs with full models on GPUs, integrating them into a model registry with smart contracts and a reverse proxy connected to a common gateway. Despite strong technical progress, the research was paused due to financial constraints.
