I’m Michele (Mik) Ruberl, a technology leader working at the intersection of AI and blockchain.
Background
25 years building technology, the last decade focused on travel tech innovation:
- Chain4Travel / Camino Network (current): VP Product, leading digital payments, identity infrastructure, and agentic AI for travel distribution
- FairMind (current): Principal AI Architect, designing production-grade GenAI systems for regulated government and enterprise sectors
- Alpitour Group: Head of Architecture & Integration, modernizing Italy’s largest tour operator and bringing blockchain innovation to Italian tourism
- Sandos Hotels & Resorts: CTO, transforming guest experience through digital commerce and building the technology organization from the ground up
Current focus
AI agents cannot function without a trust layer for identity and payments—infrastructure that only Web3 can provide. I’m building the rails that enable AI agents to transact autonomously, with proper identity, authorization, and payment infrastructure. Active in European Central Bank digital euro initiatives and EU digital identity pilots.
Always interested in a new problem worth solving. If you’re building something at this intersection, I enjoy connecting people and occasionally getting involved more directly.
