Builder. Steward. Father. Bitcoiner.
A man who builds systems the way others
write love letters — with everything.
Every arc starts somewhere. Colin's starts in care — real, quiet, years-long care. He spent over a decade as the person who showed up. For his father during a long illness. For his family through the hardest seasons. Not building products. Building presence.
His mother Hazel wrote through it all. A blog — honest and tender — documenting hospital visits, ordinary days, and the particular texture of love under pressure. When the domain was eventually lost, the words survived in fragments on the Wayback Machine. Colin found them again years later and heard her voice exactly as he remembered it.
"Her blog became the seed of everything. Haizel.ai is named after her. loveandhope.mom was built on her day."
"He left just a year after her. They are together. The farmland Colin is now fighting to protect — it's partly for them."
This is the emotional core of everything Colin builds. Not theory. Not hype. Grief transmuted into systems. Love made executable.
November 2013. Colin found Bitcoin — or Bitcoin found him. Not as a trade. Not as a ticket. As a trustless system that could protect ordinary people from institutional failure. He heard the signal clearly when most people still thought it was noise.
"I didn't buy Bitcoin. I adopted it. There's a difference."
He entered Dogecoin near launch. He began accumulating domains — strategically, patiently, with the instincts of someone who sees patterns before markets do. He's now holding 900+ across agriculture, AI, Bitcoin education, meme culture, and more. A sovereign portfolio built over a decade.
He studied at Brunel and Kingston University — Computer Science, Network Specialist, 2:1. He spent 25+ years in networks and security. The technical depth is real. So is the philosophy. He calls himself BitColin, the Bitcoin Ranger — not as a joke, but as a statement of where he stands.
He also wrote a white paper on Bitcoin Network Thermodynamics: E = BTC². Because of course he did.
Colin doesn't pitch ideas. He builds them. Quietly, persistently, with the focus that comes from ADHD reframed as a pattern-recognition superpower. When others wait for permission, he ships.
His output over the past few years reads like a map of everywhere technology and human need intersect. A portfolio of bets, not on markets, but on people.
UK farmland tokenisation on Hedera. Protecting generational land from inheritance tax collapse. Live proof-of-concept with Susan George's £2.5M Somerset farm.
AI-powered farm management system. DRAEM multi-agent architecture. MultipleHackathon participant. Built from first principles.
An experiment in preserving the warmth and wisdom of people we love. ElevenLabs voice integration. Named after his mother.
Bitcoin education. Because understanding money is a human right, not a privilege.
Bitcoin Lightning tipping. Instant, sovereign, human-scale value exchange.
Phone addiction recovery. Because the most important infrastructure is the one between your ears.
He competed in multiple Imperial College hackathons — winning both the FarmFort and aigent.pizza tracks. He arrived each time with giant croissants from Philippe Conticini. This is now known, semi-officially, as the Giant Croissant Protocol.
Everything Colin builds traces back to one thing. Not markets. Not technology. Family. The girls he calls his two little unicorns. The parents who shaped him. The generational continuity he is determined to protect.
"They never met their grandmother. But her love is still part of their story."
His daughters — his two little unicorns 🦄🦄 — are the why behind the what. Haizel.ai exists so they might one day feel connected to the grandmother they never knew. Tokenise.Farm exists so other families don't lose what his family lost. The Unicorn Maker, the voice-activated coloring page generator, bandg.dad — built for them, with love.
He promised them magical things — even silly things, like unicorns for breakfast. Because childhood should feel full of wonder.
More than anything, he's working toward more time together. Laughter. Big cuddles. The simple things.
After a family court hearing — for which he built statistical visualisations — he won weekly contact with his daughters. He showed up prepared. Love as proof-of-work.
He almost has a white Arabian horse named Imagine. He does archery, carpentry, salsa dancing. A builder of many things.
He also met Eris — a Ugandan coffee farmer — at a Simon Squibb event, and built Adelpheia.coffee for her. Because when Colin sees someone with a dream, he builds them a door.
This is the idea Colin calls Web4. Not a rebrand. A reorientation.
Web3 gave us ownership. Web4 adds stewardship — the obligation to use that ownership responsibly, across generations, guided by human values rather than quarterly returns.
"Protect fields." Not chase yields.
His philosophy of "Proof-of-Love" — demonstrating care through building functional systems — runs through everything. DRAEM and RAE, his original multi-agent AI orchestration frameworks. The 8-Bit Bank. The Digital Condom methodology for IP protection. All of it coherent. All of it his.
Raising £6M at a £30M valuation to tokenise UK farmland and protect families from the April 2026 Inheritance Tax cliff. 116,000 farms scored. Pipeline live. Susan George's farm is the proof.
AI farm management built on DRAEM multi-agent architecture. Ollama-native, edge-deployable, running on Colin's M4 Pro stack. Built to run for farmers, not for VCs.
A new venture with a 512GB M3 Ultra Mac. The most powerful local AI inference stack in private hands. What gets built next from here is still becoming clear.
"I'm not looking for investors. I'm looking for partners who understand that the most important infrastructure is the infrastructure that lasts — for families, for land, for the generations who will inherit what we build today."
For Hazel. For Dennis. For the two little unicorns.
For every family that deserves to keep what they've built.
For the fields. For the future.
