I'm Michael Shaughnessy — founder of The Mithril Company, a Colorado LLC. I live in Lakewood, CO with my wife and ~five kids. I earned a PhD in physics and have spent my career as an engineer with a deep background in machine learning. I've built things all my life, and The Mithril Company is the vehicle for the software products I build now.

The company operates three products: Acme Redactors, a FOIA-compliant public records management platform with AI-powered differential privacy and automatic PII redaction, priced per query; Love-Matcher, a thoughtful AI matchmaking service that introduces each user to one carefully chosen person at a time; and the Robot Services Exchange, an open marketplace where people say what they want and autonomous machines fulfill real-world service jobs, with access gated by ERC-721 seat NFTs on Base.
