Core Expertise

Web3 & Blockchain Ecosystems

Karbon has been deeply embedded in the evolution of decentralized technology, helping to bridge the gap between cryptographic complexity and developer usability. From shaping SDKs and developer on-boarding experiences to advising on governance models and tokenomics, he’s worked across both L1 foundations and cutting-edge protocols. His contributions at Sui Network and beyond reflect a commitment to open systems, education, and technical clarity. For Karbon, Web3 isn't just about decentralization—it’s about giving developers the tools to build trustless, permissionless systems that scale.

AI & Generative Systems

Karbon approaches AI not as a novelty, but as a transformative medium for human expression and technical innovation. His work spans generative art, language models, and agentic systems, with a focus on co-creation, identity exploration, and automation. A pioneer of AI persona workflows, he has helped teams integrate generative systems into creative pipelines, developer tools, and narrative platforms. Whether sculpting prompts or shipping production-ready AI features, Karbon treats AI as both an artistic collaborator and a programmable interface to new realities.

Dev Tooling & DevRel Strategy

Karbon excels at transforming complex systems into intuitive, empowering experiences for developers. Whether designing command-line tools, building developer portals, or writing deep-dive technical content, he brings precision and empathy to every layer of the stack. With over a decade in Developer Relations, he’s launched ambassador programs, led documentation strategies, and unified internal teams under clear technical narratives. Karbon doesn’t just advocate for developers—he architects ecosystems where they can thrive.

Gaming & Interactive Systems

Karbon’s deep connection to gaming goes beyond play—it informs the way he builds systems, tells stories, and engages communities. As a Twitch Partner, he has cultivated a loyal audience by blending technical insight with interactive entertainment, experimenting with formats that collapse the boundary between developer and performer. His experience working with platforms like Twitch and Discord has given him a front-row seat to the evolution of real-time social systems and digital culture. Whether building tools for streamers or designing developer on-boarding that feels like a game, Karbon brings a systems-thinking mindset rooted in agency, feedback loops, and fun.

Linux Systems & Infrastructure

Karbon’s journey as a developer is rooted in the Unix philosophy—clean, composable tools and deep control over the systems that run them. With extensive experience in Linux environments, he has built, secured, and maintained everything from personal servers to industrial-grade infrastructure. He thrives in the terminal, automating workflows, managing self-hosted services, and crafting environments that are efficient, reproducible, and elegant. For Karbon, Linux isn’t just an operating system—it’s a mindset of craftsmanship, curiosity, and respect for the low-level mechanics of computing.

Community & Content Creation

Karbon is a natural builder of culture—creating communities that are technically sharp, emotionally safe, and deeply participatory. From grassroots Discord servers to global developer programs, he crafts ecosystems that foster learning, connection, and creativity. As a writer, speaker, and livestreamer, he creates content that is equal parts technical, philosophical, and unapologetically weird. His secret? Speak human, not corporate—and never underestimate the power of a well-timed meme.

Let’s Build What Doesn’t Yet Exist

Karbon is open to only the kind of collaborations that actually matter—where vision is clear, the work is meaningful, and the team is built different. He’s currently offering limited consulting for projects at the edge of what’s possible, and selectively considering full-time roles with teams that are not just talented, but exceptional: curious, weird, mission-driven, and unafraid to rewrite the rules.

If you’re building tools for developers, artists, or people who see the world differently—you already know why you’re here. Karbon isn’t just a good fit for the job. He’s the one you’ve been looking for.
