I build AI systems that run startups
I write about what I find

AI opens a category that didn't exist.
Most people are still automating the old one.

I've been building software since 2000. For most of that time, the hard part was making things work. Now the hard part is figuring out what's possible when AI handles workflows no human could run.

Everyone's using AI to automate what already exists. I'm more interested in what didn't exist before — autonomous workflows that operate at a scale and speed no team, no C-suite, no org chart was designed for. A new category, not a faster version of the old one.

I build those systems. I write about what I find — the patterns that show up in production, the frameworks that survive contact with reality, and the ideas that only appear when you stop thinking of AI as a cheaper employee and start thinking of it as a new kind of capability.
