I enjoy building software at the intersection of AI, data, and real-world impact.

feeling lazy? ask an AI about me:

{ values / beliefs / writings / thoughts }

  • 01

    perpetual learning

    Remaining deliberately unfinished before competence becomes a room with no other door.

  • 02

    kinetic agency

    Ruining the perfection of the unattempted by putting work into contact with reality.

  • 03

    discernment

    Selection as a creative act: what to keep, automate, complicate, and leave outside.

  • 04

    predictions

    Three notes on vanishing interfaces, affordable failure, and freedom in an over-helpful world.
