Now

Last updated: July 12, 2026

This is a now page (why?) - a snapshot of what I'm currently focused on in life and work.

Work

  • Working at Paradigm Health. Building systems that leverage AI to bring life-changing treatments to patients faster.

Projects

  • Just launched Habagou, a small web app for learning to write Chinese characters through guided stroke practice, matching, and sentences.
  • Continuing to build focused agent tooling: skillvendor, fetch-context, and pug-claw.
  • Keeping the homelab useful for the way I work: remote coding, self-hosted agents, and a few deliberately small experiments.

Learning

  • Software correctness — what are the different techniques and practices for verifying that software is doing what we want it to?
  • How to systematize and productionize certain types of software generation — what can software in the AI age learn from Toyota?

Personal

  • Focusing on language learning: Italian for a trip to Lake Como and Chinese.
