Free, open-source protocol engineering for ReFi & public-goods teams.
Regenerative-finance projects have world-class vision and no engineering budget. defi4refi is a public-goods development studio: supporters fund the studio, and the studio designs and ships protocol codebases free to selected teams — community treasuries, staking systems, local currencies, bonds, governance.
Every delivery is open source, every engagement gets a public writeup and a hypercert. Audit-ready, not audited — your team deploys and operates the contracts under your own keys.

| Tier | Deliverable | Effort |
|---|---|---|
| T0 | Design sprint — tokenomics, architecture, threat model, roadmap | ~1 week |
| T1 | Protocol-in-a-box — token, staking, bonds, treasury, governance | ~2–4 weeks |
| T2 | dApp frontend — staking/bonds/dashboard with wallet stack | ~1–2 weeks |
| T3 | Adjacent modules — coordination, identity, DePIN, cross-chain | scoped |
Built from contracts already live in production on Base (rooted-finance, abyayala, regen-bridge).
Donations go to the studio — donors receive no services (patronage of a public good, not a service sale). Funding channels: Giveth, Octant, Gitcoin rounds, direct crypto, and hypercerts on each delivered engagement.
Environmental technologist specializing in blockchain and AI. I build decentralized systems that make environmental evidence more credible and regenerative finance more accountable. Trained in GIS and environmental economics; working in Web3 since 2021.

A GIS-trained environmental economist who became a full-stack blockchain engineer. As Chief Science Officer at Azos Labs he connected $57M+ of environmental assets and mapped paths to $2B more. He built Avano's decentralized monitoring-and-verification network to 75+ people in two months, ships production smart contracts on Base, and runs defi4refi — a public-goods studio that builds free, audit-ready protocol codebases for ReFi teams. His systems turn stories into attestations and funding into flowing streams.
