A little about me

My work is fundamentally interdisciplinary.

It draws from philosophy, computer science, product design, and empirical research, not because I couldn't choose one discipline, but because the questions that interest me don't belong to just one.

I build AI products, study model behavior, and publish open research through Agentic Diaries. Each informs the other: products generate questions, experiments refine ideas, and research shapes what I build next.
