About

A builder at the edge of new technology.

Cody serves as a co-contributor to Andromeda, the first 100% on-chain operating system for web3. He founded XRAM Capital, a long-only fundamental crypto investment firm.

Before independent ventures, he held systems engineering, security analysis, and software development roles at the NSA, Dell, and Texas A&M University — consistently the youngest person in the room, and often the one asked to solve what no one else could.

Across two decades he has had a hand in movements that outgrew him: coworking (2006), the hashtag (2007), the BIL Conference (2007), the North Texas Blockchain Alliance (2016), and the ERC-721 standard (2017).
