Hi, I’m Michael Palhidai.

What I’m working on now
Three projects, one common thread: using technology to build systems that are useful, transparent, and built to last.

About
Systems thinker, builder, founder.
I’m based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area (Bedford, TX). My background is in enterprise systems and infrastructure: I’ve worked as an IBM Maximo subject-matter expert and administrator, as a technical project manager for security, access control, and infrastructure projects, and in healthcare IT.
What I enjoy most is taking software and shaping it around what people actually need. Today I’m putting that same approach into my own ventures — on-chain, in the markets, and in my community.
