Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrian Cooper is a serial founder and hands-on software engineer with nine years of experience building open-source tools, XR/web3 platforms, additive manufacturing products, and organic wellness brands. As Cofounder and Chief Reality Officer at Rigami and CEO of Omni, MatterForge, and Aerial Biotechnics, he blends cloud-native full-stack engineering (Kubernetes, TypeScript, Rust) with productizing hardware and biotech prototypes. He has shipped research-grade mental-health and metaverse systems, led blockchain and DeFi engineering, and operated production CI/CD and infra across AWS and Kubernetes. Brian documents living a location-independent, nature-rooted lifestyle while running companies from his car and teaching creator systems on YouTube, showing his commitment to practical independence. He’s equally comfortable architecting GraphQL APIs and smart contracts as he is designing 3D-printable hardware and wellness products. A curious polymath, he often bridges academic research, emergent web3 primitives, and consumer-facing manufacturing in the same week.
