Ami Heines — Private Blockchain Infrastructure

I build tamper-proof record-keeping systems using private blockchain technology. Not crypto speculation platforms — production infrastructure where data integrity is non-negotiable.

Background

I’ve spent years working at the intersection of systems engineering and distributed ledger technology. I run my own infrastructure — bare metal servers, 4-node BFT consensus chains, full-history indexers, encrypted document vaults. Everything I sell to clients, I use myself.

My projects include ChainVault (a tamper-proof deal room with wire fraud prevention) and Verarta (art provenance on private blockchain). Both run on infrastructure I designed, deployed, and maintain.

Philosophy

The blockchain is the how, not the what. I don’t sell “blockchain consulting.” I sell fraud prevention and tamper-proof audit trails. The blockchain happens to be the best technology for making records genuinely immutable — but that’s an implementation detail, not the value proposition.

Build it, don’t just talk about it. Every system I recommend to clients is something I’ve built and deployed myself. I don’t do slide deck consulting.

Simple first, then scale. A 2-node proof of concept teaches you more than a 50-page architecture document. Start small, prove the concept works for your use case, then grow.

What I’m Looking For

I take on roughly one new engagement per month at $5,000 for a proof-of-concept. If private blockchain is the right fit for your problem, I’ll tell you. If it’s not, I’ll tell you that too.

Best fit: CTOs and VPs of Engineering at companies handling sensitive records — real estate closings, legal transactions, healthcare compliance, municipal systems, art provenance.
