Michael Taylor is a pragmatic CTO and infrastructure entrepreneur with 20+ years building production systems at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and GPU compute. He currently architects Silicon.net, a pioneering Arbitrum-based marketplace that fractionalizes physical NVIDIA hardware into yield-bearing NFTs, after co-founding Pantheon Compute where he deployed 940+ RTX GPUs and generated $1M+ revenue in year one. Michael combines deep systems engineering—from data center ops and AWS/Terraform to Rust and Solidity smart contracts—with product instincts that turned niche infrastructure (DIG Protocol, blockchain carbon registry) into real-world standards. He champions AI-first DevOps, replacing traditional workflows with LLM-assisted pipelines, and mentors teams to raise security and code-quality bar across cloud and on-chain stacks. Based in the Bay Area, he pairs founder-level execution with hands-on technical leadership, uniquely bridging federal-scale embedded systems and cutting-edge tokenized compute markets.
