Independent product practice since 2018. Engagements include IOG and Shielded Technologies. EU-based, working globally.
A self-hosted allocation gateway that lets EU wealth managers and IFAs route client portfolios into tokenized real-world assets on the firm's own custody and payment accounts. The MiCA boundary between advisory (CIF) and execution (CASP) is structural: the operator of the software never touches the regulated surface.
Read the write-up →Consolidates fund data aggregation, AI-driven portfolio construction, MiFID II suitability scoring, and AMF-compliant document generation into a single workspace. Built from primary user research with practicing CIFs. SQLCipher-encrypted data architecture with multilingual PII anonymization before any external API call.
Read the write-up →Institutional tokenization has split along a hosting axis: public rails carry the liquidity, permissioned rails carry the confidentiality and control institutions require, and neither lets a regulated asset move without losing the constraints that make it usable. The thesis maps the split, sizes it with a bottom-up model, and lands on a narrower bet: the missing piece is constraints that travel with the asset, portable proof while accountability stays put.
Read the thesisLOAM is the independent product practice of Noel Rimbert, running since 2018. For Shielded Technologies, he owned tokenization, compliance, and governance through Midnight Network's mainnet launch. For IOG, seven years spanning protocol infrastructure, wallets, observability, identity, and tokenization: standing up product operations, bootstrapping Project Catalyst into one of Web3's largest decentralized funding engines ($150M+ deployed across 84K+ community members), and shipping Hyperledger Identus, IOG's enterprise identity platform, to the Linux Foundation. Before the practice, trade finance at BNP Paribas CIB.
The prototypes above are the practice's current validation work: regulated DeFi, RWA tokenization, institutional crypto infrastructure, compliance primitives.
Product ownership, strategy advisory, and technical due diligence for institutional crypto, regulated DeFi, and RWA tokenization. Three to twelve month engagements, or shorter strategy reviews and initiative scoping.
