AI × BLOCKCHAIN · KUALA LUMPUR → THE WORLD
I build systems where intelligence meets trust.
I'm Tan Ji Sheng — AI and blockchain expert with thirteen years of shipping through every hype cycle. Smart-city AI for local governments. A public blockchain protocol. An NFT game studio. And the honest lessons from every one of them — now pointed, as CEO of GamBit Custody, at the oldest problem in wealth: how it survives the handover to the next generation.

// what i do
Three ways I create leverage
ai.systems
AI Architecture
From masters research in deep learning (network fault prediction) to smart-city analytics that tracked buses and waste trucks for Petaling Jaya and Penang, to Razortooth AI — a Telegram agent my studio built to talk to and moderate a game community — I design AI systems that survive contact with the real world, not just the demo.
chain.protocol
Blockchain Engineering
I led development of Trivechain — consensus upgrades, wallets, explorers, a tokenization protocol. Then ran an NFT game economy through crypto's harshest winter. Now I lead GamBit Custody, an SC-approved digital asset custodian. I know what on-chain systems can and cannot promise — and how to hold them safely when they deliver.
exec.advisory
Fractional CTO & Advisory
Six ventures taught me what kills startups: tech built before demand, tokenomics built on hope, teams scaled before revenue. I help founders and enterprises avoid the mistakes I've already paid for.
// the journey
From campus radio to a custody desk. Receipts for every chapter.
A queue app that won awards and still died. A cloud-printing startup that taught me distribution beats product. Smart-city AI that shipped to two local governments. A public chain I hard-forked live — and later sunset properly, migrating every holder. A game studio led through the P2E winter to an acquisition. Now: a regulated custody desk. Every chapter ends with the lesson it cost me to learn — because pattern recognition is the only moat that compounds.

Understanding DAOs — Governance You Can Read Off the Chain
Most DAO explainers end in utopia. At Trivechain we actually ran one — a masternode-governed treasury denominated in TRVC — and operating it taught me the model's real edges — turnout, weight-based voting, and the rigidity of rules that execute themselves.

Storing a Minister's Declarations on Trivechain
A field note on a demonstration we built — writing a minister's declarations onto Trivechain, our own Layer-1, so they are timestamped and independently verifiable from the block explorer. Plus an honest note on what running it on your own chain does and doesn't buy you.

I build small useful things too
Like a QR code generator with zero ads, zero tracking, zero upsells — because a utility should just work. If it saves you a minute, it did its job.
