Technical Skills & Technologies
Agentic payments, x402 and DeFi work
Most of what I build is payment infrastructure: charging AI agents per API call over x402, settling in USDC across chains, and the Solidity underneath it. Here is the work worth reading about, including what I shipped into the protocol itself and what I shut down.
Bags - pay-per-call APIs for AI agents
February 2026 – Present
Role: Co-founder. Built x402 payment APIs for AI agents with USDC verification, payment records, and tax invoices. Supported by Founders Inc., Canopy, and Superteam.
x402 protocol contributions
December 2025 – September 2026
Role: Contributor. Four merged pull requests to x402: payment-scheme validation, EIP-2612 permit tests, ERC-20 gas constants, and extension documentation.
