Carsen Klock.

I'm Carsen, a 34-year-old engineer from Boise, Idaho. I've been writing code for 23 years, and it started with RuneScape.

At eleven I was teaching myself Java to run RuneScape private servers: reading other people's source, breaking it, and patching it back together until players could log in. That loop of taking something apart, understanding it, and shipping a better version is still how I work.

By 2011 I was deep in cryptocurrency, and I later founded and led development of Denarius (DNR), a proof-of-stake coin with its own ASIC-resistant Tribus algorithm, stealth addresses and encrypted messaging. I've worked professionally for 12+ years, including front-end work at GAW Miners and account security at Apple. Along the way I founded Legend Games and brought Mythrel to life through Kickstarter.

Most recently I was a senior engineer at WOMBO, working on W.ai's distributed AI infrastructure. Right now I'm independent and building full-time: agent platforms, inference benchmarks, browser MMOs and system tools, all live and all shipped by me. I'm open to my next role, whether that's a team that needs someone who can own a product end to end, a contract, or a founding seat. When I'm offline, I'm usually on a dirt bike, a snowboard, or at a campsite somewhere in Idaho.
