Technology is only as good as our understanding of it.

I write about that gap — practically and philosophically. How to build with AI, and what it means that we are. I've spent a decade inside some of the most complex technology shifts of our time: co-founded a venture-backed startup, led narrative strategy at Dapper Labs and Story Protocol, published in Stanford Blockchain Review and a16z Future, and built platforms used by tens of thousands.

This is where I think out loud.

Practical guides on building with AI. Essays on what these systems mean for work, institutions, and the rest of us.

I also work with founders and organizations who need to shape how their technology is understood — or figure out what to build with it in the first place. Narrative strategy, product ideation, AI implementation. If you're trying to close the gap between what's possible and what you're actually doing with it, reach out.
