SAM TOWN
I design token economies, growth systems, and AI infrastructure — tokenomics, AI agent platforms, cloud, financial models, and the behavioral systems that connect them. Past work in crypto, fintech, and AI.
The work spans four layers: design the economy, build the infrastructure, execute the strategy, ship and operate. $7M+ raised, 4.2M users shipped.
Same Architecture, Four Problem Domains
Token economies are mechanism design problems. AI platforms are systems architecture problems. Infrastructure is deployment engineering. Regulatory compliance is constraint satisfaction.
They're all the same skill — architecting systems under constraints — applied to different substrates.
The combination is the product.
