Summary
I design and deploy compliance-aware decentralized systems — using regulated mental healthcare as a proving ground for architectures that scale across complex domains. As founder of Future Systems Lab, I move from concept to production: on-chain deployments, FHIR-aligned consent flows, and governance-aware infrastructure built to HIPAA standards from day one. My background spans naturopathic psychology and blockchain product architecture — I think in systems, across disciplines, at the intersection of governance and user experience. Five Ethereum smart contracts deployed and verified on Sepolia — every FSL system is in production. Pursuing a Doctor of Engineering to formalize applied research methodology and advance systems leadership at the intersection of blockchain, AI, and decentralized governance.
Engineering Experience
Lead Engineer — ClaimChain Insurance Claims Governance
2026 — Present
- Engineered a full PostgreSQL claims lifecycle schema spanning users, patients, providers, visits, claims, documents, audit logs, insurers, eligibility, authorization, and compliance log tables.
- Built Phase 3 SMS-based approval-gated automation with case-insensitive approve/deny/defer, 4-hour timeout, and max-defer logic — deployed to production VPS via systemd.
- Architected ClaimChain as a standalone blockchain governance layer for insurance eligibility verification — integrates with any payment pipeline (Fiat → Stripe → Crypto → MetaMask) and deployable independently of any single platform.
Open-Source Case Study Lead — AlchemistForge / mental-health-on-chain
2026 — Present
- Scaffolded mental-health-on-chain as a five-entry public smart contract awareness series; deployed 24/7 campaign orchestration across Dev.to, Twitter, Discord, GitHub, and Telegram.
- Recorded on-chain case study as Participant #1 with Transmuted and Celebrated events confirmed at wallet 0xf22cbF25deEeA36FFF828BAf73CCb049345eF248.
Founder & Systems Architect — Future Systems Lab
2023 — Present
- Deployed and verified five Ethereum smart contracts on Sepolia testnet: HypnoNeuroToken, EncryptHealthToken, MindMasteryNFT, ClaimChain, and AlchemistForge.
- Architected a 12-agent Master Command Center spanning Audit, Smart Contract, Backend Build, Frontend/UI, Compliance, Security, Testing/QA, and Research agents with full dropdown panel orchestration.
- Deployed production VPS automation stack (clawdbot) on OpenClaw VPS: Flask approval server, Telegram bot, Streamlit analytics dashboard, and two systemd services running continuously.
- Engineered EncryptAI — a 19-step canonical monorepo (frontend/, backend/, labs/, contracts/, game/) with MetaMask authentication via wagmi 2.16.9, PostgreSQL 17, and blockchain writes via viem — Step 2 live on Vercel.
- Established SSH-authenticated signed commits, GitHub org governance, and Rights Reserved licensing policy across all FSL repositories.
Healthcare Data Architect — HypnoNeuro Mental Wellness Platform
2023 — Present
HypnoNeuro · EncryptHealth · ClaimChain · NeuroBalance Watch — modular systems engineered to operate independently or as an integrated ecosystem
- Architected a 27-game browser-based therapeutic wellness platform spanning three progressive treatment levels — system design, clinical logic mapping, and token-governed session architecture fully planned; games in active development using React, Web Audio API, and Solidity-governed session tracking.
- Designed on-chain incentive model linking session completion to token rewards and NFT-based discount tiers, creating verifiable therapeutic progression evidence on-chain.
- Building HIPAA-compliant backend with DID authentication, encrypted communications, and MetaMask wallet-based access as the primary clinical entry point.
Founder & Product Developer — SunCodes Holistic Health
2018 — 2024
- Developed a seed-to-shelf CBD product line in an unregulated market — managed full product lifecycle including formulation, third-party COA testing, GMP documentation, labeling, barcode integration, and retail packaging compliance.
- Led full renovation and interior redesign of a historic downtown smoke shop, converting it into a branded therapeutic wellness center — managed contractor relationships, spatial design, and retail buildout from concept to opening.
- Founded and operated a clinical wellness platform applying naturopathic psychology and orthomolecular frameworks to mental health and trauma recovery, with digital compliance tracking and personalized client protocol systems.

Publications
"Ending the Insurance Verification Nightmare"
America Out Loud · March 1, 2026 · americaoutloud.news
Argued that blockchain governance resolves systemic insurance fraud — duplicate claims, identity misuse, phantom billing — through decentralized eligibility verification and immutable audit trails.
"Blockchain Consent Transforms Patient Data Control"
America Out Loud · March 2026 · americaoutloud.news
Examined how blockchain-based consent architecture returns data sovereignty to patients — arguing that smart contract-governed consent flows resolve the systemic failures of centralized health data management and establish a verifiable, patient-controlled alternative.
