[experience]
company: Pluto.xyz
title: Senior Software Engineer
location: New York City, USA (remote/hybrid)
dates: Jan 2022 – Present
summary: Multi-product ownership and cross-team integration, from architecture to launch at a high-velocity startup. Lead on developer experience and privacy-first automation products at the intersection of cryptography and AI.
projects:
  - name: Pluto Frame
    role: Co-architected front end and npm libraries, Frame UI, and in-browser playground. Built a TEE-backed automation SDK described as “Plaid for any web data”, shipped as two npm packages (@plutoxyz/frame-js, @plutoxyz/react-frame), an iframe UI, and IDE playground. Enabled drop-in integration with <5 lines of code.
  - name: RAG Developer Assistant
    role: Built a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot leveraging OpenAI models and Postgres (via pgvector) to surface context-aware, instant AI support for Pluto Playwright scripts. Dramatically reduced developer support requests by over 80% through LLM-powered self-service troubleshooting.
  - name: Attest Chrome Extension
    role: Co-architected a multi-context Chrome extension for fully client-side proving. Integrated WASM cryptography, multi-threaded Web Workers, message-passing, and IndexedDB caching for private, high-performance proof generation in browser.

Hi, I'm 0xFloyd (Ryan Floyd), a senior software engineer and potato farmer at Pluto.xyz. I build at the intersection of cryptography and AI—shipping tools to automate browser workflows with LLMs and trusted hardware using TEEs. I’m interested in disruptive technology, and describe myself as a techno-optimist and futurist.

My work spans developer automation SDKs, retrieval-augmented AI assistants, WASM-based proof generation, and npm libraries designed for developer experience. My favorite stack is TypeScript and React, but I’ve shipped everything from web apps and APIs to npm SDKs, onchain integrations, and Chrome extensions. I don’t work alone—Sonnet 4 is always with me.

Previously, I built projects for NounsDAO (first-ever Builder proposal) and worked as a software engineer at Lockheed Martin. I’ve also shipped a variety of freelance projects for startups and individuals.
