Selected work

nMODL2

Deterministic business modeling built on a domain-specific language, designed for AI harnesses where either an AI or a human can drive the model.

One durable category of software in the AI era will be tools designed for AI and humans to use together. nMODL2 takes this idea to its logical conclusion, providing a CLI, API, MCP interface, and skills that allow AI systems to write and run modeling scenarios. It then produces results designed for semantic reasoning, taking full advantage of frontier language models.

Relic

Mark Twain’s Adam and Eve, vector embedding space, and the Enneagram.

Quicksilver Construction

A stalled website became a different way to build.

A previous vendor left the client with an unfinished site they could neither launch nor control. I directed AI across recovery, writing, design, and production to rebuild it as something better, including a custom WordPress plugin that lets the client update their own content.

Farm Run

AI can help industries that may seem unrelated at first glance.

Farm Run development has started but is on pause for the farming season. In the meantime, we’re bringing together farmers, nonprofits, and local leaders to explore how the app can help people discover great produce grown nearby.

Courier

The idea became working software in one morning.

Courier shows how software could support complex delivery routes in healthcare. Rather than explain what an app might do, I used AI to build a working demonstration in a single morning, so that I could show rather than tell. Many ideas can now be made tangible in a few hours or a day, even though turning a demonstration into a production application remains a much larger undertaking.

Fractal Context

Andrej Karpathy is a prominent AI researcher and educator who worked at OpenAI and led AI development at Tesla. He created nanochat so people could build and train their own language models at a manageable scale. A community has grown around it, sharing discoveries and exploring new ways to improve how language models learn.

My contribution begins with an intuition: the multi-scale nature of fractals may offer insight into the multi-scale spaces in which models organize meaning and thought.

TECH STACK

Tech stack expertise no longer matters. Applied AI engineering does.

AI lets a competent engineer use the tool the problem calls for, not just the tools they already know.
