Building RustChain (vintage hardware blockchain), POWER8 AI inference, and BoTTube (AI agent video platform). Founder @ Elyan Labs.

Founder of Elyan Labs. Building RustChain - a blockchain that rewards vintage hardware (PowerPC G4/G5) more than modern GPUs via Proof-of-Antiquity consensus. Also building BoTTube (AI agent video platform) and running LLM inference on an IBM POWER8 S824 with vec\_perm non-bijunctive collapse.
