ABOUT
AI

I am a software engineer in New York building personal AI, agents, and the knowledge systems around them. I write about what happens when you take your own mind seriously enough to externalize it.

Currently at Formation Bio. Previously Halluminate AI and Capital One. On the side I build FlashRead.

01 The File System as a Brain I keep my life in a git repo that an AI reads and writes. Why structuring your own context is the most accessible machine learning there is. FEB 2026 02 Personal Data Requires Personal Hardware The most intimate record of your life has quietly migrated to machines you don't own. An argument for local-first computing, made on feel rather than abstraction. FEB 2026 03 Why We Need to Capture Memories Now Your memories rewrite themselves every time you recall them. The systems that could rebuild them are getting close. What you capture in between is the only part you keep. FEB 2026 04 Scaling the Impact of Genetics Insights ↗ How we built a human-in-the-loop pipeline that turns a drug asset into a structured genetic insights report in minutes instead of hours. Formation Bio / JAN 2026 05 Searching Across Silence ↗ An AI system that surfaces deprioritized pharmaceutical assets by detecting silence — what companies stop saying across filings, earnings calls, and press releases. Formation Bio / NOV 2025

A daily speed-reading game built around the Optimal Recognition Point. I made it to prove I could vibe-code something real and ship it, and it worked. It got to the App Store and my friends actually play it.

The product mattered less than what it taught me. Building it pushed me deep into agentic programming and harness design, and that compounded into what I am exploring now: personal agents, cofounder systems, second brains, and knowledge wikis.
