What I take

Consulting and build work. Mail is the way in.

Hire me

• AI

  Wire models into products that already ship. Static sites, local tools, and the boring glue that makes a demo a system.

• C++

  Native apps and Qt. Tooling that stays on the machine. The Borland habit of a small program that does one job.

• TypeScript

  Next.js, static export, GitHub Pages. The stack this site is on. Browser tools that never upload your files.

  The coffee button

  Freelance income is uneven. The coffee button is a small, honest way to keep the lab open without ads.

  Static Next.js on GitHub Pages

  How this site ships. output export, trailing slashes, a custom domain, and the Jekyll underscore trap.

  The long shelf

  The blog is the notebook. This shelf is for the pieces that need more room.

• History of AI

  From the 1956 Dartmouth workshop to the transformer. The winters, the expert systems, and the turn in 2012.

• Modern AI

  What a frontier system actually is in 2026. The model, the tuning, the tools around it, and the part a consultant is hired to build.

• Grok

  The assistant from xAI. Where it runs, how the model line was named, and what Grok 4.7 is as of October 2026.

• A good prompt

  How to brief a model so the work comes back in the shape you meant, and what a poisoned prompt is when the brief is hiding in the data.
