Mystic Mining, Founder, (2017 – 2023)
In 2017, I founded Mystic Mining, a pioneering company in cryptocurrency mining. Mystic Mining quickly grew into a 2.5 MW datacenter in Columbus, Indiana, hosting over 1,000 GPU rigs and more than 8,000 GPUs. The company introduced its proprietary plug-and-play mining hardware, the Mystic Miner, which made cryptocurrency mining accessible to a wider audience. The Mystic Miner gained significant traction, with over 800 units deployed globally. While Mystic Mining has closed its datacenter and Assembly operation, Mystic servers are stable and running, providing computation power, merging with Gyri Infotech workloads.
Gyri Infotech, Co-Founder, 2022 (Currently serving as the Advisor) In 2022, I founded Gyri Infotech, a technology company specializing in tailored software solutions for small and medium- sized businesses. As the Hardware Infrastructure Lead, I deployed on-premise bare-metal servers for storage, web applications, and computational workloads, ensuring high availability and scalability. I also designed and implemented server networking, optimizing connectivity and security for seamless operations. Additionally, I contributed to technical documentation, version control workflows using GitLab, and CI/CD pipeline setup, ensuring efficient software development and deployment processes.
Currently serving as a Technical Advisor, I provide strategic guidance on infrastructure scalability, system architecture, and emerging technologies.
