Hi, I'm Jacob 👋
Ten years building data-intensive applications — crypto, on-chain analytics, and financial-data tooling.

About

I've traded crypto since 2020, and when tax time came across 20+ wallets, multiple chains, and a collapsed exchange, nothing could handle it. So I built my own: double-entry ledger, FIFO cost basis, per-wallet audit trails. That same instinct runs through everything here — Solana DeFi P&L analytics, on-chain event tooling, Xero financial reporting, and data pipelines that turn high-volume mess into something legible. I'm a hardware and software power user, and I share what I learn about AI and tooling for staying productive solo.

Open to software-engineering roles in AI and crypto — remote, or based in Tel Aviv.

Building in Public

I write about building crypto and financial-data tools — and what I learn using AI to ship more on my own.
