About Me - Agentic Payments & x402 Engineer
I build payment infrastructure for AI agents.
I co-founded Bags, an agentic commerce platform that let any API charge AI agents per request over the x402 protocol - pay-per-call links that quoted a price, verified a USDC payment across four chains, then returned the response. It reached 100,000+ cumulative visitors, was backed by Founders Inc. and Superteam, and was part of Canopy, the Founders Inc. builder cohort.
I also contribute to x402 itself, the HTTP-native standard for paying for API calls in stablecoins. Three of my pull requests are merged into the protocol repository - unit tests for EIP-2612 permit signing, named constants for ERC-20 approval gas defaults, and documentation for the extensions package. Before Bags I was founding engineer at Timelock Protocol, writing Solidity for a DeFi options protocol, and spent twelve months as a full-stack blockchain developer at Mavik Labs across Next.js, TypeScript, Docker and Go. I mentor for Google Summer of Code with OWASP BLT.
I am pursuing a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and graduate in 2027.

Agentic payments, x402 and DeFi work
Most of what I build is payment infrastructure: charging AI agents per API call over x402, settling in USDC across chains, and the Solidity underneath it. Here is the work worth reading about, including what I shipped into the protocol itself and what I shut down.
Bags - pay-per-call APIs for AI agents
An agentic commerce platform that let any API charge AI agents per request over x402. A pay-per-call link returned an HTTP 402 with a price quote, verified the agent's USDC payment across four chains, and only then released the response - with merchant-of-record compliance and tax invoicing underneath, so a founder without a US entity could still get paid. Reached 100,000+ cumulative visitors, backed by Founders Inc. and Superteam, part of the Canopy builder cohort. Wound down in 2026: the machinery worked, the demand was not there yet.
x402 protocol contributions
Three merged pull requests to x402, the HTTP-native standard for paying for API calls in stablecoins. Unit tests for sign_eip2612_permit, which builds the EIP-712 payload facilitators verify on-chain - a regression in the domain or the Permit primary type would silently break Permit2 gas sponsoring on every chain that opts in. Named constants for the ERC-20 approval gas fee defaults, replacing hardcoded fallbacks and matching the TypeScript side. And a rewrite of the @x402/extensions documentation. All three reviewed and merged by the protocol's maintainers.
AgentPay
A payment agent that buys API calls on your behalf over x402 - sentiment analysis and in-house trading signals, each metered and settled per request in USDC rather than behind a subscription. The prototype that led to Bags.
Timelock Protocol
A modern landing page for Timelock Protocol showcasing advanced DeFi trading features with unlimited upside and zero liquidation risk. Features quantum-secured positions and temporal arbitrage across multiple DeFi protocols with enhanced yields.
Veri Doc
A decentralized document verification system using zero-knowledge proofs to reduce maintenance costs and improve verification efficiency. The system significantly decreases verification time compared to standard methods while maintaining security and privacy through advanced cryptographic techniques.
