Chief Technology Officer @ Liquid Agent

About

I build production DeFi infrastructure that runs 24/7 What I've built: ▸ Liquid Agent — Automated DeFi operating system, liquidagent.ai Scheduled sends, recurring payments, multi-chain yield routing, gas-free lending. DeFi that runs on autopilot. Circle CCTP integration. ▸ Pi Pools — Liquid staking infrastructure, pipools.xyz 158 validators, ERC-4626 vaults, custom oracle infrastructure. ▸ Navier — Decentralized Conditional Settlement Markets, navier.liquidagent.ai Live on Ethereum and Base. ERC6909 positions, multi-oracle support (price, weather, sentiment). navier.liquidagent.ai ▸ VEO — Validator Entropy Oracle, pipools.xyz/veo On-chain randomness with p¹⁹ manipulation resistance. No Chainlink VRF fees, secured by 52,280+ validators. Partnerships: • Circle — CCTP integration partner • Coinbase (Stand With Crypto) — Policy advocacy Recognition: • 1st XDC AI Sprint Winner Twitter: https://twitter.com/LeftyChris13
