I grew up in a house with no televisions and an absurd number of cookbooks. My parents are both teachers; we drove across the country every other summer in a beige Volvo with a roof box and one specific cassette tape.

I studied graphic design because I wanted to know how magazines were made, and stayed in it because the work kept getting more interesting the closer it got to actual systems. Eventually that pulled me toward product, and then toward the gnarly, almost-magical territory where language models become tools you can actually trust.

These days I co-run feeble.io — a small studio and mentorship program for people building leverage with AI. The rest of my time is reserved for bikes, fly rods, long recipes, and a black cat named Marlow.

I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
