Octavian Tocan

Hello from Zaragoza. I'm Octavian. I've been shipping commercial software since I was 16, when I cold-DM'd the founder of Winterbyte and ended up writing the event system, NPC AI, and building system for a Unity asset that did $35,000 in its first month.

At 20 I co-founded Infima Games: UE5 tooling at 4.8 stars across 459 Unreal Marketplace reviews, free tier used by tens of thousands of developers, $16k+ Gumroad. Most recently Lead Web Engineer at TwinMind, a Sequoia-backed AI memory startup. Joined at ~50k MAU, we hit 81,778. I built the React Native brownfield app as the only engineer on it and rewrote more than half the web app under production load.

Infima taught me to ship and own the outcome. TwinMind taught me that memory architecture is the real bottleneck, not the model. So now I'm building Pawrrtal, a provider-agnostic AI agent gateway with hard tool boundaries so agents stay useful without going off the rails: multi-provider OAuth, MCP bridges, per-agent permissions, 220+ governance policies.

Looking for AI Agent Architect roles where this is the job, not a side project. Find me on LinkedIn or X.
