Hi guys I'm Kerby, building Hermes at Solace 👋

Hi everyone! I'm Kerby.

I'm a software engineer and founder currently building Hermes, an autonomous capital allocation system, under my research company, Solace.

I've always been fascinated by a simple question:

Can capital allocation itself become an intelligent system?

That question has led me down the rabbit hole of market structure, probabilistic reasoning, risk management, and designing systems that can operate in complex environments.

I'm also obsessed with product design and creating software that feels calm, intentional, and easy to understand even when solving difficult problems.

I'm here to learn from other founders, share what I'm building, and hopefully contribute where I can.

Since many of you have launched products here before, I'd love to hear:

What's one thing you wish you knew before your first Product Hunt launch?

Looking forward to meeting everyone!
