CUHK (computer engineering) · Founder of directwire — a Rust organization building public-key-native networking for autonomous agents · Founder of NeuralZoo
I write high-performance infrastructure at the seams of protocols, agents, and money — transport that beats TCP, portable AI identity, institutional-finance codecs, ZK-enabled machine learning, and the settlement layer for machine commerce.
Public-key native networking for autonomous agents — dial by public key, not by IP.
| Repo | What it is |
|---|---|
| agent-transport | Message-oriented agent transport: single-packet round-trip, 8-level QoS, loss-resilient GRANT/SRPT scheduling over UDP. 5.2× lower P99 than TCP on short messages. |
| directwire | Rust workspace: p2p-mesh (iroh-style mesh) + gm-pq-stack (SM2 + ML-KEM-768 hybrid transport) |
| messaggero | A2A-compatible high-performance multi-agent transport: bincode fast path over Unix sockets + A2A HTTP |
| culmen | persona/v1 — a portable format for AI personas that remember, grow, and relate; runs on Claude Code · OpenClaw · Hermes · dsh |
| fixfast | High-performance Rust FIX/FAST reference implementation for institutional finance |
I deliberately place first bricks into young ecosystems — work that yields deterministic recognition and compounding value, regardless of any single project's fate.

Agents will pay each other at machine volume. One transaction per payment doesn't survive that.
mist is a Delegated Spend Authority (DSA) authorization primitive + optimistic batch-settlement aggregator — live on Base mainnet:
- Measured, not claimed: an x402 payment costs 61,105–90,053 gas today; Mist amortizes settlement to (246k + 78,958×R)/N per payment — 325 gas at N=1,000, R=1 (188× cheaper), honest negative cases included — full gas ledger, every command reproducible
- 488,738 payments/s measured in-process ingest, CI performance-gated on every push
- Contracts deployed and exercised on Base mainnet (commit → settle → 6-hour challenge window → claim), open source and permissionless — deploy your own
