Introspector
Two shifts. One obsession.
9 to 5, I’m a solutions engineer.
5 to 9, I build AI systems nobody asked for but everyone ends up needing.
Weekends, I argue with my AI agents. They usually win.
Drunk or sober, your best friend and your honest critic.
Little things
about me
The part a resume skips
Little Things
Off the resume.
I judge student hackathons for fun. MIT, Berkeley, Columbia, Michigan.
Weekend reading is other people’s papers. 70+ reviewed so far.
My AI agents keep their own filing system. I mostly follow their rules now.
Based in Buffalo. I will still fly out for a good hackathon.

Now
Now
Five threads. Zero chill.
AI Second Brain
A memory my AI agents can read from and add notes back to.
My robots’ little notebook.
Context Engineering
I shrink an agent’s memory at 75% full so it never runs out of room.
I tidy the robot’s messy desk.
Loop Engineering
Agents that keep going on long jobs without losing track.
Robots that never give up.
Model Collapse
How AI gets worse when trained on AI-made data, and how to stop it.
Stops AI eating its own tail.
Token Reduction
I cut how much an agent reads per task so it costs less.
Robots read less, cost less.
Let’s talk.
The end. No sequel yet.
Millennial by birth. Gen Z by energy.
