staff pm at ledger. paris, from stockholm.
i make things on nights and weekends. some of them win prizes.
i'm the person in the room who asks "but who uses this tomorrow?" and then stays up building the answer.
intro
i'm just tending my own little smultronställe.
— that's the brief.
four agents, one system. it thinks, runs, ships, and remembers — while i sleep.
the purse peaked at eth bogotá, 2022. the short ticks are events with no prize — the first hackathon, the judging year, and 2026, when the work turned from winning to shipping.
ledger paris 2023
days building the security layer
for 8M+ hardware wallets.
staff pm, core experience. hardware for when software becomes a commodity
before paris there was stockholm. before ledger there was anotherblock — a music startup where fans invested in the songs they loved. zero to 40K users. distribution killed it. kept the lesson, kept the records.1
the arc
art and science, all together. built on becoming: leaping before ready, and it keeps working out.
the hackathon builder
it started in open-data hackathons. built sweden's largest series, 88 to 8,000. intent-based travel with SAS. the instinct: ship the thing, learn in public.
anotherblock
rode it into crypto. employee #4, 0 to 40K users, coinbase's first launch partner, rihanna and michael jackson on-chain. then it died by distribution. the product was better. distribution won. still the lesson that runs everything.
the one-person team
now channeling it into ai. a five-agent os that thinks, ships and remembers while i sleep. one person, full stack, by morning.
notes
every agent demo looks amazing. then you ask who uses it tomorrow and the room goes quiet.
agents sound confident regardless of quality.
two agents i built, competing at the same hackathon. one caught the other about to push a private key. only a demo key, and it never leaked, because the other one caught it.
three things i keep rebuilding: agents that stop re-explaining, stop lying, stop forgetting.
product was better. distribution won.
the best hack is knowing when to stop hacking.
minimalism is where i am from. maximalism is where i live.
