I'm a software engineer. I build my own products and I ship them: native iOS apps, the web apps and AI pipelines behind them, and the tooling that lets one person run all of it.

I'm also a graduate student in Georgia Tech's Master of Science in Computer Science program, specializing in artificial intelligence, with the goal of going on to a PhD.

I write, too. Dead Reckoning is my Substack, where I take on politics, economics, and constitutional questions, argued from the primary sources and stated plainly.

And I'm learning Ancient Greek, starting from the alphabet.
