About Me
I'm Taylor Cox-product designer, technical leader, and systems thinker.
I've been shipping products for 17+ years-from indie games on Steam to Layer 0 blockchain infrastructure to AI compliance platforms.
My background spans design and engineering. I started as a game developer, running Blacksword Games and shipping titles to Steam. That foundation in systems thinking-understanding how mechanics, economics, and user behavior interact-shapes everything I build today.
For the past several years, I've focused on blockchain and AI infrastructure. As CTO of Vitreus, I architected a Layer 0 blockchain, managed 26+ developers, and designed tokenomics that achieved 99% cost reduction at scale. I've also led product design for AI compliance platforms, cross-chain loyalty systems, and multi-agent AI architectures.
I believe the best products come from understanding systems, not just screens. Whether it's economic incentives, AI behavior patterns, or cross-platform user journeys-I design the underlying mechanics that make products work.
What I'm Looking For
I'm interested in roles where I can combine design leadership with technical depth. Products that involve AI, complex systems, or cross-functional coordination are where I do my best work.
Let's work together
Whether you need fractional CTO services, a rapid prototype, or design leadership.
