30 years building on the Internet: games, web platforms, blockchain, and physical things. I've shipped AAA game titles, a decentralized MMO, and a robot named Peon.
I've been designing, building, and running online communities since before the term existed. 700,000 members at Gaia.com. President of a Burning Man regional org at its most successful year. Forum systems that rehabilitated trolls instead of banning them.
