IMPT - The Planet's Loyalty Programme

I'm Mike. I build the kind of software that moves real money toward problems that need it — most recently, that's IMPT: a market, a wallet, and a swarm of agents pricing carbon into every transaction.
I started writing code for fun in school and writing it for production a few years later. Two startups in, I figured out the part I love is the unglamorous middle — the protocol design, the economic loop, the moment where engineering and incentive meet and the thing finally works.
I founded IMPT in 2019 because I was tired of climate tech being a press release. Seven years later we route real bookings, retire real tonnes, and put the receipt on a public ledger. It's still early. We're still building.
If we work together, you'll find me direct, calm, and obsessive about the seam between technology and trust. I write a lot. I ship more. I read longer than I sleep.

Outside work, my son David is a 13-year-old mountain biker based here in Clonmel. He runs his own site, David's first proper mountain bike — a 12-month review, with first-person riding diaries, gear reviews — including best full-suspension mountain bikes of 2026 — and a growing library of Tipperary and Waterford trail guides.
