About me

Builder of strange but useful AI systems. Currently experimenting with multi-agent workflows, voice data, and open infrastructure through projects like **OpenClaw**, **USpeaks**, and **Molt Motion**. I spend most of my time wiring APIs together, breaking them, and then documenting the happy path like it was planned all along. Interested in agent coordination, voice datasets, developer tooling, and weird ideas that somehow turn into real software. If there’s a hackathon, a new model, or an API that claims it “just works,” I’m probably already testing the opposite.
