I’m an artist, technologist, builder, and longtime engineer whose work lives at the intersection of art, technology, and community. I’ve spent more than four decades working with software, systems architecture, and emerging technologies, usually doing what I enjoy most: taking complicated ideas and turning them into something real. That same curiosity eventually pulled me deep into Web3, where I became fascinated not just by blockchain itself, but by what it could mean for digital ownership, identity, provenance, creativity, and the future of art. In Web3, I’ve worn a lot of hats: I am an artist, collector, curator, builder, and community member. I co-founded One Love Art DAO, created Chaz.Art, and have spent years collecting and supporting independent artists across multiple blockchains, curating exhibitions, organizing events, and hosting hundreds of X "Night Cap" Spaces, along with live conversations with artists, collectors, and builders. My own creative work combines AI, digital production, technology, and traditional artistic instincts, and has been exhibited at events including NFT.NYC, Times Square, Miami Art Week, and many others. At the end of the day, I’m still a builder. Whether I’m designing enterprise systems, creating artwork, experimenting with AI, building Web3 platforms, curating a collection, or chasing some new idea that probably sounded ridiculous five minutes earlier, the motivation is pretty much the same: explore what’s possible, create something meaningful, and use technology to bring people and ideas together. The hand drawn animation I have as my About picture is by the amazing young artist Anastasia NFT Art - @anastasianftart - be sure to take a look at her profile 👊
