Things I keep thinking about building.

This is mostly a place to keep track of the kinds of software I find interesting: tools for building, tools for operations, and runtime ideas that make the work feel clearer and less annoying.

Nothing here is a company bio. It is closer to a personal index of projects I keep returning to.

Current work

A few things I keep coming back to.

Pixelbox

What if making software felt more like staying in one thought?

Pixelbox is the environment idea: ask, edit, run, preview, debug, and iterate in one loop instead of scattering attention across a pile of tools and windows.

Automoat

Turn messy business data into a defensible AI moat.

Automoat helps discover what is actually proprietary in a business, turn that data into something testable, and prove whether it creates an advantage through research, benchmarks, retrieval, adaptation, and local-first workflows.

Forge

A runtime idea for when agent workflows get messy.

Forge is me poking at the question of what sits underneath multi-agent work once the pile of CLIs, auth setup, logs, and runtime behavior starts getting out of hand.
