Carsten Rehfeld

Software Architect & Technology Entrepreneur — designing distributed systems and open protocols for the next layer of the internet.

Current Work
01

Open Protocol Infrastructure

Building interoperability standards for AI systems and autonomous agents — so capabilities compose freely rather than accumulate behind walls.

APIX BotStandards
02

Knowledge Gap Detection

Platforms that map the negative space of human knowledge — systematically surfacing where research is absent, underfunded, or structurally invisible.

Mycorrhizal
03

Distributed Systems Architecture

Over 25 years designing systems that handle complexity without becoming complex themselves — financial infrastructure, data pipelines, service meshes.

Background
Based in Germany, working at the intersection of software engineering and institutional design. Former lead architect on large-scale financial platforms. Now focused on infrastructure that outlasts trends — open standards, commons-based governance, and the economics of shared knowledge.
