Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPayton Lee is a multidisciplinary software engineer and founder with a decade of experience blending game design, storytelling, blockchain, and AI to build socially minded products. Based in San Jose, he pivoted Chancegamer from physical board games to Web3 and smart contracts, shipped crowdfunded titles globally, and later mentored DAO initiatives while exploring NFT and agentic AI integration. As founder of Dharmaverse LLC he now leads a sci‑fi–driven effort to prototype “enlightened” AI agents and web3 experiences that prioritize human connection over attention-driven design. His background in mechanical engineering and early full‑stack and research roles gives him a hands‑on, experimental approach to product development and a taste for high‑risk pivots that often reveal unexpected opportunities.
