Selected Work & Infrastructure
Detailed architectures, design decision records, and source repositories across Bitcoin protocol engineering, operational platforms, and decentralized networks.
Flagship Systems & Projects
Rieko
Operational intelligence engine for Bitcoin and Lightning infrastructure
A deterministic systems engine written in Rust that ingests live telemetry from Bitcoin Core and LND, builds an in-memory graph, evaluates typed detectors, generates prioritized operational recommendations, and executes deterministic what-if simulations.
- ›Deterministic detectors with stable SHA-256 identities and zero replay duplication
- ›Pure what-if simulation engine projecting liquidity redistribution without mutating node state
- ›LLM explanations are strictly decoupled and never part of the core detection loop
MazingiraOps
Multi-ward environment operations platform
A multi-tenant operational platform engineered to digitize municipal sanitation and environmental management from Makina Ward to Kibra Subcounty and Nairobi City County. Features QR attendance, leave approval workflows, field work evidence, and immutable reporting.
- ›Transitioned municipal workflows from unverified paper rosters to cryptographic QR check-ins
- ›Default-deny tenant isolation enforced server-side across staff, attendance, logs, and reports
- ›Private S3 object storage with scoped access control for sensitive field and medical evidence
BitScope
Reproducible Bitcoin protocol laboratory backed by a real Bitcoin Core node
An educational and experimental protocol workbench that constructs, executes, attacks, and verifies Bitcoin transactions against a live local Bitcoin Core node on regtest, producing deterministic cryptographic evidence bundles.
- ›Zero reliance on third-party block explorers; all state is verified against a live local Bitcoin Core node
- ›Hands-on experiments for RBF fee bumping, CPFP child spends, PSBT multisig signing, and Taproot scripts
- ›Deterministic proof bundle exports containing raw JSON-RPC queries, block receipts, and mempool proofs
Protocols, Mesh Tools & Educational Labs
SentinelMesh
Decentralized community crisis coordination & private location mesh
A decentralized emergency communication and coordination PWA built with Nostr (NIP-17 encrypted messaging, NIP-29 public channels, NIP-98 authentication), Rust Axum gateway, Redis Streams, and MapLibre cartography.
- ›NIP-17 end-to-end encrypted direct messaging and family circle coordination
- ›Signed NIP-29 public community channels with cryptographic identity verification
- ›Epoch-based location sharing with instant consent revocation
Privacy Jenga
Interactive 3D Bitcoin privacy education game
An interactive educational experience that teaches 54 core Bitcoin privacy and operational security concepts through 3D physics tower mechanics built with React 18, Three.js, and React Three Fiber.
- ›54-block interactive 3D physics tower mapped to real Bitcoin privacy practices
- ›Covers on-chain heuristics, CoinJoin mechanics, address reuse risks, and Lightning privacy
- ›Interactive questions test learner knowledge to maintain physical tower stability
