Why he is building WATZAAA

Mike's work at JunkDNA AI is proving that a real, specific human is behind a digital action. WATZAAA puts that to everyday use. When you join a small group to go to a game, a show or a festival, the people in it are who they say they are, and the listings you chose from were checked against the official source or labelled when they were not.

WATZAAA is the first consumer product on that identity layer. It is being tested by hand in seven cities before anything is automated, and it runs by a short set of rules you can read: neutral ranking, literally true verification labels, and no holding your money.

Background

Thirty-five years across real estate, banking, fintech and technology, two of those decades in lending: conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo and one-time-close construction loans. He then moved from financing other people's plans to building software himself.

How he works

Five disciplines, one operator: mortgage banking and capital markets, AI and identity infrastructure, blockchain and smart-contract escrow, enterprise sales and partnerships, and regulatory, tax and corporate work.

Innovation lives at the edge of discomfort.

What else he is building

WATZAAA shares one verified identity with the rest of the JunkDNA family. Other products on the same stack include Klout Kast, MortgageMentor360.AI, RenterTree, FanFever360.AI, Kupid.Me, WorkDepot.AI and GoatAF.AI. He also hosts The Mike Drop Experience and founded the non-profit Dadd FAD.
