hey, I'm Linus.

I'm a builder. For a decade I've shipped production systems end-to-end — database to browser — and I'm happiest where the hard part is keeping something fast, honest, and up at scale.

Today I'm Head of AI & Technology Development at MT & MNA Ventures, owning the technical foundation across the venture portfolio — most visibly United Creatives, a web-scale platform protecting digital creative ownership.

Before that: enterprise web platforms, technical tooling used in defense logistics, and a solo-built Bitcoin casino with its own payments engine. The thread through all of it is adversarial systems — anti-abuse, protocols, fingerprint-resistant automation — which now powers the production crawler infrastructure I lead.
