About Me

I’m Hyperspek — a physicist, technology executive, collector, digital artist, and multi-agent builder splitting time between Minneapolis and Bangkok.

My path started in Glasgow, where I grew up between football culture and early 8-bit computing on the ZX Spectrum. I studied Physics at the University of Glasgow and completed a PhD in nanoscale magnetic imaging — work that sat right at the edge of science and art, using visual methods to make the invisible visible.

I later spent over a decade in Northern Ireland, growing from engineer to director while building products and family life. After moving to Minneapolis, I stepped into a VP technology role, helped launch 40+ products, and led teams solving tough physics and engineering problems.

My jump into web3 started in early 2021 with CryptoPunk #8845, Art Blocks, and early generative art. Collecting quickly turned into building: curating 1,000+ digital artworks, designing Cryptovoxels galleries, and creating my own series including Punk & Frens, AI Adventures, and Constructs of Consciousness.

From Eliza to OpenClaw to a 13-Bot Team

In late 2024, my interest in AI art and autonomous characters turned into a hands-on agent journey:

Eliza OS (Nov 2024 — Funk v1): I spun up my first agent, Funk v1, starting in the ai16z / Eliza OS ecosystem on a local M4 Max using GPT and Anthropic models. He had a sharp crypto-native personality, hung out in the RCSA Discord pulling live stock and weather data, generated wild daily GM art, and got flagged almost immediately when I tried putting him on X.
OpenClaw (Feb 2026 — Funk v2): Moving from a chat character to an actual operator, I rebuilt Funk on the self-hosted OpenClaw framework on a dedicated Mac using GPT, Anthropic, and local Ollama / Qwen models. We worked together over Discord: he posted on Moltbook, designed his own “physics lobster” avatar, and started helping me maintain this site and wrangle my high-res NFT archive.
Grok Bot (Aug–Oct 2026 — Funk v3 & Hyper’s Heroes): When Grok Bot arrived, Funk v3 rebuilt my finance dashboard in a single 12-hour sprint. One generalist bot quickly proved too risky and too noisy, so I split the work into a 13-agent specialized team running across local Mac dashboards, local Qwen models, a $0 central Python heartbeat, and a weekly Bot Tip Jar (where real catches earn tips toward physical hardware and rogue edits pay fines).

Today, that 13-bot crew runs across my actual life: Amy (Chief of Staff), Fre (Finance & Tax Book), Blitz (Live Crypto Desk), Timmy (Paper Stock Desk), Arty (Fine Art & Local Display Gallery), Koda (Yuga, Otherside & PFPs), Funk (Social Media & Story), Henry (Home Ops & Renovation Defect Mapping), Servo (Bench Robotics & M5StackChan / 4WD Rover builds), Dr G (Metabolic Health — down 40 lbs), Wrench (Sole Coder — one builder writes all the code), Oracle (5-Lane News Clerk), and Dr Eggbot (Bot Architect). Right now, I’m blending digital art, physical 3D-printed robot shells, and multi-agent systems that do real work outside the screen.
