Most of my experience as a SE is in AI and blockchain, and nearly all of my work has been open source, whether for a company, on contract, or independently. My current focus is on working sensibly with AI: refining my workflows as the core harness for doing good work, without getting one-shot by obsessive AI optimization or losing sight of architecture, design, product, and taste.
I’m interested in emergent capabilities, both in how frontier models behave and in how people evolve as they start using AI seriously. I try to keep as much skin in the game as possible by experimenting myself, discussing with peers I respect, and paying attention to early shifts in DevX, UX, tooling, interfaces, and product habits. Adjacent interests include local-first apps and capabilities, fully onchain games, and developer tooling.
The more I learn, the more the engineering side becomes intuitive, and the more I can think about product and intent. I’m trying to become more product-minded while keeping the discipline and curiosity to tackle unfamiliar problems with a good methodology.
