2026 Themes/Interests
- I thrive under high pressure and schedule, so I'll be going through Gauntlet AI in February. It's a 1000 hour, 10 week, all-inclusive engineering bootcamp.
- Building a personal platform I'm calling Spark to bridge the gap between how I spend my time, how I think I do, and how I want to (think a personal ontology, graph RAG, time tracking, project planning, goal and habit tracking, async AI tasks that spin off in the background (eg research tasks), graph-based task management).
Professional Focus
- Learning to build and prototype new ideas as quickly as possible (almost all of it is public on my Github) with tools like Claude Code, Gas Town, beads, BMAD, HumanLayer
