Leads technical development of Stellar, a universal financial network supported by Stellar.org, a nonprofit that contributes to open-source software. We are hiring! I cofounded Stellar.org because I believe that gaps and outdated infrastructure in the financial system limit the economic potential of the world. As a nonprofit, we couple technology with digital financial literacy. My hope is that Stellar.org will enable full economic participation for all human beings.

Programmed and designed The Far Wilds, a turn-based strategy game that emphasizes clever plays. The Far Wilds received positive reviews from IGN for its “unique, interesting and addictive gameplay.” When I no longer had time to run the game, I handed it over to a group of dedicated fans who could continue to operate it for the community.

MetaMachine created eDonkey2000 and kdrive (an early Dropbox-like file storage system that allowed for secure transfer of files in a decentralized manner). The eDonkey Network was an early decentralized p2p file-sharing network. eDonkey pioneered multi-source downloads by introducing hashing to p2p file sharing, which enabled 1-to-many data sharing. eDonkey was the first implementation of a large-scale DHT.
