One trunk, many branches
Yggdrasil Digital is a one-person engineering studio and product house, by design, named after the world-tree of Norse myth. The consulting practice is the roots; the studio is the trunk; the ventures are the branches. No layers and no hand-off to juniors, because there is no one to hand off to: the person who co-invented a top-5 chain’s consensus protocol is the person who designs your system and writes the code. I take on web3, fintech and autonomous-systems work that demands depth, and reinvest that craft into products built to leave standing in the world.
