Personal Projects:

I am currently developing a SocialFi Platform, a decentralized social media and DeFi platform that empowers users to control their digital footprints while monetizing engagement. This project reflects my commitment to innovation in blockchain technology, asset tokenisation and frictionless micro payments.

Open Source Contributions: The Bitcoin Ecosystem

My work has consistently centered around empowering users with control over their digital assets and interactions within the blockchain space, particularly focusing on technologies built upon or surrounding Bitcoin. I have engaged deeply with various open-source projects contributing to functionalities like secure cryptocurrency payment processing (including self-hosted solutions), implementation of advanced layer-2 scaling technologies such as the Lightning Network, and tools for efficient wallet management and asset tracking.

This involvement has been crucial in fostering a better understanding of decentralized systems' inner workings. I actively support these foundational technologies by ensuring their proper functioning through contributions like debugging, testing, and documentation updates where relevant to my expertise. My commitment is to contributing meaningfully to projects that enhance user sovereignty and the practicality of open-source blockchain tools.

AI Endeavor: Building Custom Bitcoin Intelligence Systems

My current passion lies in constructing a sophisticated, custom Artificial Intelligence system tailored specifically for applications involving Bitcoin and related blockchain technologies. This isn't just about deploying pre-trained models; it's about building intelligence that deeply understands the nuances of financial transactions on blockchains.

I am developing an AI architecture with several key components:

1. Persistent Memory The core requires a robust mechanism to retain context across interactions, far beyond simple in-memory state.

2. Multimodal Processing I aim to incorporate capabilities like Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech-to-Text (STT) for enhanced user interaction and handling voice data analysis relevant to crypto communities or accessibility features.

3. LLM Chaining & Specialization The system leverages multiple Large Language Models (LLMs), potentially chained together, each specialized for different tasks. This includes:

• One LLM optimized for understanding complex financial concepts related to Bitcoin transactions and DeFi protocols.
• Another focused on parsing technical documentation from projects like LND or BTCPay Server.
• Yet another specifically trained (or adapted) to reason about smart contracts written in languages like Solidity, even when interacting with BTC-based systems.

The goal is to create an AI agent capable of providing detailed explanations for transaction types, analyzing market sentiment data relevant to Bitcoin forks (like Taproot), synthesizing information from various decentralized sources (including forums and on-chain analysis tools), potentially automating complex query generation across different APIs related to Bitcoin infrastructure, and offering a more intuitive layer for interacting with blockchain data.

This project represents the cutting edge of applying AI directly to solve problems within the financial sovereignty space enabled by technologies like the Lightning Network. It allows me to push boundaries in how we interact with and understand decentralized systems, combining my open-source development skills with advanced AI techniques to build truly novel tools.

Background:

As a South African and Afrikaner descendant of the Dutch people who settled in South Africa in 1652, I have witnessed firsthand the systemic challenges faced by White Afrikaners.

The current economic exclusion and direct attacks on our farmers and white minority are deeply concerning, particularly affecting my own family members. Despite these adversities, I remain committed to finding solutions that can help preserve our heritage and ensure a better future for us all.

In response to the South African government's 142 race-based laws designed to prevent White Afrikaners from earning a living in South Africa, I have managed to find safety outside of Africa. This experience has not only broadened my perspective but also instilled in me an unwavering determination to contribute positively to any organization that values commitment, ethics and an unshakable moral foundation.

The Afrikaner people are renowned for their absolute work ethic and dedication, traits that I believe will be invaluable assets to your team. My background equips me with a unique understanding of the challenges faced by our community and a strong commitment to finding innovative solutions.

I am confident that my skills, experience, and passion would make a significant positive contribution to your project. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team's success.

I am passionate about leveraging technology innovation to drive impactful projects and always eager to explore new opportunities where my skills can make a difference ! - Send an email to TechArgitek@proton.me.
