His ongoing "Signals" series charts the evolution of crypto art through metrics like sales volume, artist activity, and collector behavior, rendered in dynamic web-based artworks using tools like p5.js. Collaborations such as "Cadence" with Bryan Brinkman transform years of an artist's NFT output into radial timelines, where each dot represents a release, highlighting consistency across market cycles. He founded Royal Patron, a platform offering custom analytics to identify and reward dedicated patrons in digital art, including royalty payers and long-term holders.
