Maru naam Ashtyn che, but you can also call me アシュティン。My momma taught me how to use the command line in '96 and I’ve been coloring outside the lines ever since. I'm building embedded AI for vertical SaaS, fintech platforms, and digital banks to quickly launch accounting suites inside their products. Previously, I performed deep research on how to enable on-chain AI with increased access & attribution to data. Built protocols for privacy & provenance after leading product teams and growing blockchain teams for early-stage startups going from 0 to 1. Bought Bitcoin in 2014 and wrote my first smart contract in 2017. Went deep into web3 after a decade in web2 as a founder, product leader, and full-stack engineer.
