I like to make things, especially things that work on computers.
Recent
- Gandalf is an SDK for getting user data from any service (i.e Amazon, YouTube, Instacart, Uber etc).
- Quick Snack is a prototype/experiment that lets you build React Native apps by talking to an LLM/AI Assistant. It’s built—quite hackily—on top of Expo Snack.
- Fable (early exploration) a super simple mobile app that turns articles, pdfs etc into natural-sounding podcasts with AI. The goal is to keep it cheap by minimising inference costs.
Career

- I invest in & help build first versions of products that I'd like to see exist - Accrue, Convoy, Tix, Shepherd etc.
