It functions as the R&D and infrastructure layer behind Renaissance City, where experimentation becomes production-ready systems. I design the systems that allow creators and communities to own, deploy, and evolve their digital presence—without relying on centralized platforms.
1Ecosystem Architecture
At DPoP Labs, I design and implement modular ecosystem architecture rather than single-purpose apps.
- Built the App Block system, where creators deploy independent, composable applications
- Each block can operate autonomously while remaining interoperable with the broader ecosystem
- Enables communities to grow organically without central bottlenecks
Translation: This is platform engineering, not app development.
2New Authentication & Trust Models
DPoP Labs explores alternatives to traditional, platform-owned identity.
- Signature-based authentication and wallet-adjacent identity flows
- App registries and trust verification between independently deployed apps
- Portable identity across creator-built tools without repeated onboarding
Why this matters: Identity becomes infrastructure, not a growth hack.
3Automated Deployment Infrastructure
Instead of building one-off sites, DPoP Labs focuses on repeatable deployment systems.
- Automated provisioning of creator websites and applications
- Standardized hosting, data, and update pipelines
- Low-friction publishing without sacrificing ownership or extensibility
Result: Creators get real infrastructure, not just profiles or pages.
4Infrastructure as a Creative Medium
A core principle at DPoP Labs:
- Infrastructure should be something creators can build with, not just exist on
- Tooling that supports non-traditional builders
- Systems designed to evolve alongside community needs
- Long-term adaptability prioritized over rigid product definitions
