Why I write

It started with keys.

I've been obsessed with keys, keyboards, and typewriters since I was a kid. My mother used to take me with her to work, where she spent long hours drafting educational materials for schools. I'd sit next to her and watch her fingers move across the keys.

I've been with a keyboard my whole life since. She inspired me, and I chose a path that would let me be as good with the keyboard as she was. These books are what came out of it.

Whitepapers

The architecture and economics behind PeerLLM, written up in full.

Whitepaper PeerLLM v1.0 · August 2025

PeerLLM: A Manifesto for a Decentralized AI Economy

Version 1.0 · August 2025 · 3 pages · PDF

The vision, architecture, and economics of PeerLLM: a peer-to-peer network where anyone can earn from their idle hardware, their data, and their models, so the gains of AI are shared instead of concentrated in a handful of companies.

Whitepaper LLooMA v1.1 · April 2026

LLooMA: A Network-Native Orchestration Architecture for Low-Latency Distributed Language Intelligence

Version 1.1 · April 2026 · 5 pages · PDF

How PeerLLM runs inference across community hosts: splitting prompts into dependency graphs, racing hosts under strict deadlines to cut tail latency, and continuing across models when one fails. Scaling intelligence by improving the execution policy, not only the machines or the models.

Whitepaper JooMMA v1.0 · May 2026

JooMMA: A Provenance-Preserving Knowledge Layer for Decentralized Language Intelligence

Version 1.0 · May 2026 · 6 pages · PDF

The data side of PeerLLM. Questions the network cannot answer become knowledge gaps routed to verified experts, whose validated answers are stored with attribution and pay their authors every time they ground a model’s answer.
