Kyle has been building out the futuretech product side of Ixian. The for-profit aspects of this are still in stealth.

He is the Legal Engineering Curator at Hats Protocol and runs the Legal Engineering tracks at most of the Zuzalu-inspired pop-ups such as ZuVillage and Vitalia. Kyle is a Devcon Legal Scholar, a MegaZu attendee and brought in almost $400,000 in grants funding during his time at LexDAO.
Kyle has a background in enterprise music rights management, and is an avid polymath, focusing on scaling the legal engineering profession via scientific & mathematical rigor, automation & disintermediation, and code-is-law.
