Hi, I'm
I help people build with AI — from strategy to shipping code.
I work with teams and individuals to figure out where AI fits into what they're building. Architecture, model selection, prompt engineering, tool integration. I've shipped AI systems in production — I know what works and what doesn't.
I teach people how to build software using AI as a collaborator. Not theory — hands-on sessions where we build real things together. You'll walk away knowing how to go from idea to working prototype using modern AI tools.
I'm a philosopher-builder in the Bay Area, originally from Austin, Texas. I studied philosophy and mathematics at Oklahoma State, then spent years doing things that weren't software — guiding ketamine therapy sessions, driving a pedicab, wandering. I taught myself to code and landed my first engineering role in 2025.
Now I'm building TinyFat, an open-source AI agent platform — agent runtimes, multi-channel messaging, serverless infrastructure, the whole stack. The unconventional path turns out to be useful: I'm good at explaining technical things to non-technical people, and I think about systems differently than someone who's been writing code since they were twelve.
I write about technology and building things at my blog.
