@glitch\_

AI & growth executive

I’m Rabin Nuchtabek, usually @glitch\_ online. I’ve spent about a decade in growth. These days, I’m VP of AI at HYPE.

I help founders and leadership teams make better decisions about AI, product and growth—and organise the people and systems to deliver.

## From growth into AI.

I’ve worked with more than 40 brands across crypto and beyond. Consumer apps, games, wallets and NFT platforms all sit in that work history.

At HYPE, I previously led growth. Now I lead AI. My work spans strategy, product direction, team leadership and implementation. Crypto is where I come from, where I still work, and something I believe in.

I also spent 5+ years mentoring founders and startups on product and growth decisions.

## Work with me.

Stuck on where AI actually earns its keep, what to build next, or why growth stalled? Send me the problem.

### AI that earns its keep

Where it fits, build vs buy, getting the team to use it.

### What to build, who it’s for

Product direction and growth experiments.

### Hands-on with your team

I lead it with you, strategy through shipping.

Scope and fees get sorted in the DMs.

### Some things you can try.

Personal builds from this site. Each one shows its scope and limits.

#### [Prompt workbench](https://www.theglitch.ai/tools/prompt-workbench)

A browser tool for turning creative inputs into an editable brief. No generation service behind it.

#### [After hours](https://www.theglitch.ai/studio/after-hours)

An interactive visual-direction exercise with local progress and exports. A prototype of learning by making.

#### [Cult check](https://www.theglitch.ai/tools/crypto/cult-check)

A token-pool lookup that turns public market data into a readable snapshot. No wallet connection or trading.

## A few altered realities.

Two edits. A little less attached to reality.

### Side quest

0:38. A blue tracksuit, New York, and a very loose relationship with reality.

[Video example](https://www.theglitch.ai/media/about/dance.mp4)

### Street mode

0:13. Headphones on. The street becomes the dance floor.

## The other open tabs.

World of Warcraft, League, Naruto, mid-2000s skate culture. A few of the references that keep finding their way into what I make—including the easter eggs in signal.exe.

[World of Warcraft reference](https://www.theglitch.ai/images/signal-culture/lich-king-helm-cursor-original.png)

### World of Warcraft

Lich King. Leeroy. 50 DKP minus.

[League of Legends reference](https://www.theglitch.ai/images/signal-culture/teemo-scout-approved-original.png)

### League of Legends

Yes, even Teemo.

[Naruto reference](https://www.theglitch.ai/images/signal-culture/akatsuki-cloud-original.svg)

### Naruto

The Akatsuki cloud stays.

[Skate culture reference](https://www.theglitch.ai/images/signal-culture/skateboard-complete-original.png)

### Skate culture

That mid-2000s energy.

## And, yes. The JPEGs.

- [DeGods](https://degods.com/)

### Usually trading on

## Why this little corner exists.

The Glitch is where I put the things that don’t fit into a job title: films I’ve made, tools I’m building, prompts worth borrowing and bookmarks I want to come back to. Some are useful. Some are just fun. You’re welcome to take something with you.
