Blockchain Infrastructure Architect & Tech Entrepreneur
I’m a tech entrepreneur and crypto infrastructure architect, founding Integrity.farm, a blockchain-based Regenerative Finance (ReFi) platform leveraging USPTO patent-pending technology. Integrity.farm enables publicly-listed Bitcoin miners to redirect capital from planned mining equipment into profitable carbon credits, verified through real-time monitoring of avoided emissions. By locking funds in smart contracts, it creates virtual miners that track Bitcoin network data via Chainlink oracles, generating verifiable CO₂ avoidance credits for sustainable revenue without energy-intensive operations.
In 2015, I launched Ethereum Garden, one of Eastern Europe’s first decentralized Ethereum mining networks. Built from scratch in Odessa, Ukraine, and fully bootstrapped, it scaled to over 2,500 GPUs before institutional crypto investment surged. Gazeta.ua (2016) hailed it as Europe’s first industrial crypto-mining farm, and Telegraf (2018) called it “the boldest mining project in Eastern Europe.” It was acquired by a Ukrainian family office in late 2017.
In 2016, I joined the Israel Tech Challenge, a government-backed program led by Unit 8200 veterans, sharpening my expertise in AI, cybersecurity, and blockchain. This deepened my understanding of decentralized systems and secure infrastructure.
From 2017, I collaborated with Eastern European cybersecurity leaders, notably advising Volodymyr Taratushka, co-founder of Hacken and the HackIT conference. I helped shape Hacken’s early Web3 security strategies and blockchain architectures. As a jury member for the 2017 HackIT Cup, sponsored by Fenbushi Capital and attended by figures like Vitalik Buterin, I evaluated top-tier bug bounty and CTF competitions. In 2018, HackIT events featured Phil Zimmermann (PGP creator) and Steve Wozniak (Apple co-founder), reinforcing Hacken’s rise as a global Web3 security leader, auditing 1,200+ projects like Binance and Avalanche.
In December 2017, I led the development of a 2.5 MW Tier 4 Bitcoin mining data center on Nokia’s Paris-Saclay campus, the largest in Central Europe at the time. Backed by the Nokia Bell Labs Startup Program, it laid the groundwork for the Blockchain Research Institute, which I co-founded and directed until 2024. The institute pioneered industrial-scale mining, energy reuse, and crypto-physical infrastructure convergence.
Integrity.farm, my current venture, uses smart contracts and real-time monitoring to generate carbon credits by avoiding mining emissions. It supports publicly-listed Bitcoin miners with wBTC-based rewards tied to actual Bitcoin network metrics (difficulty, block rewards, hashrate), ensuring transparency and auditability. A USPTO patent application protects this innovative mechanism.
Today, I design trustless financial systems, bridging real-world energy with on-chain rewards. I also advise a European aerospace company on blockchain-integrated autonomous systems and defense tech. My writing explores Web3 architecture, Bitcoin mining economics, zero-knowledge systems, and blockchain’s shift from hype to practical utility across digital and industrial domains.
