I build AI that holds up at scale — Turning Real world problems and hard math into reliable architecture. VerifyLocal.ai closes the trust gap in physical-world commerce. Our patent-pending “Truth Layer” verifies that what happens on the ground matches what’s on the screen. 2026 pilot. YC track. Hiring. Recognized with an O-1 visa (extraordinary ability in the sciences) in 2000 based on my optimization and neural-network research and its industrial applications at NuTech Solutions.
VerifyLocal.ai, a performance-based marketing platform that connects nano and micro-creators with hyper-local small businesses. Instead of paying for potentially fake digital metrics like followers or clicks, VerifyLocal focuses on verifiable in-store visits and real local customers. The platform uses trustworthy signals such as POS and online sales data, proprietary foot-traffic sensors, and aggregated busyness data to confirm visits and issue cryptographic Local Proof Tokens that trigger escrow settlements. Creators are compensated through a mix of guaranteed retainers and performance-based payouts that adjust based on signal strength, while businesses pay only for confirmed results. Over time, AI-driven Consumer Trust Scores and creator Footprint Scores help both sides make better choices and power a paid API that supports “best local business” recommendations for advanced AI systems. We're piloting in Greater New Haven, CT, founder-funded, with a working MVP launching August 2026 — building the measurement standard for a category that currently runs on faith.
