What I Do
Software Engineering
I build web platforms and AI-powered tools. Currently focused on schema-driven architectures and developer tooling that makes complex systems feel simple. My work lives at the boundary between what’s possible and what’s practical.
Web AI Developer Tools Architecture
Writing & Content
Long-form writing on engineering, technology, and ideas that matter. YouTube videos breaking down technical concepts. X Spaces conversations with builders and thinkers across the industry.
YouTube X Spaces Blog
Community & Debate
I host and join conversations on X Spaces about tech, culture, and the internet. I believe the best ideas get sharper through honest debate.
Wildlife Conservation
Board member at a wildlife nonprofit. Technology should serve the natural world, not just disrupt markets.
Gaming
Video games, pen and paper RPGs, and tabletop. The best systems—whether in code or on a game table—are the ones that create space for emergent stories. Currently running a long-form TTRPG campaign and always looking for the next great indie game.
Now
What I’m Working On
Building developer tools that bridge AI capabilities with real-world web development workflows. Writing about the craft of software engineering and what it means to build things that last. Hosting weekly X Spaces on technology and culture.
