I’m Jessie Santiago, also known online as @JessieBroke. I’m based in Atlanta.
I’m a robotics researcher turned crypto builder. I started co-hosting The Bitcoin Podcast Network in 2017 — one of the oldest crypto podcasts — becoming a part-owner in 2020, and have spent the years since building across decentralized infrastructure, storage, and coordination.
Currently I serve as COO and Co-Founder of Durability Labs, alongside co-founders Mark Spanbroek and Dmitriy Ryajov. Our first project is Archivist, a decentralized storage protocol. Previously I was the first Logos Program Manager at the Institute of Free Technology, working on Codex (April 2021 – June 2025).
This site is a working notebook — part portfolio, part digital garden. You’ll find write-ups on what I’ve built, longer-form thinking, working notes, and where to find me online.
