What I'm Building

Two tracks running in parallel — sovereign decentralized infrastructure for AI, and the PDE simulation work that pays the rent on rigor.

SUM Innovation — Sovereign Infrastructure for the Post-Hyperscaler Era

Co-founder SUM Chain (L1) · OmniNode Protocol

The Thesis

Three hyperscalers run 85%+ of the world's AI compute. A 70B model needs $30K of GPU hardware that idles 90% of the day. Every prompt ships private data to a corporate server. Cost barrier, sovereignty risk, single point of failure — pick three.

SUM Innovation is the bet that the next decade of intelligence shouldn't run on rented racks. We're building two interlocked systems — a chain and a network — so compute becomes as decentralized as the people using it. Don't trust us. Trust math.

Two Systems, One Stack

OmniNode Protocol

A peer-to-peer LLM inference network in 100% Rust — splits model layers across consumer hardware over a P2P mesh. Pipeline parallelism, federated learning, verifiable execution.

  • Sharded layers across heterogeneous devices via libp2p + QUIC
  • Federated training — gradients leave the device, raw data never does
  • zkML proofs so you can verify the inference you paid for

SUM Chain · L1 Blockchain

Fixed-supply, immediate-finality L1 powering the network's economy. BFT consensus, native NFTs, no smart-contract surface to exploit. Engineered for restraint.

  • Native currency Koppa (Ϙ) — fixed supply, deflationary fee burn
  • Tendermint-style BFT consensus with immediate finality
  • Native NFTs for certified document tokenization — no Solidity required

Hollow-Fiber Membrane Simulation for Point-Source Carbon Capture

Graduate Research Assistant with Prof. Miao-Jung Yvonne Ou (Advisor) & Dr. Robert DeJaco (Ardent Process Technologies)

What It Does

A first-principles model of a hollow-fiber membrane module separating CO₂ from N₂ by selective permeability across a membrane between concentric lumen and shell regions. Governing equations discretized in FEniCS — variational methods, Navier–Stokes coupling, Maxwell–Stefan transport. PDE work that has to actually solve, not just typecheck.

Some of this is under NDA — happy to walk through the parts I can share.
