Projects

Erg

Built a workflow orchestrator for Claude Code. It watches your issue tracker, spins up containerized AI sessions to implement the work, creates PRs, handles review feedback, monitors CI, and auto-merges. Written in Go, available via Homebrew.

Plural

Built a CLI for running parallel Claude sessions. Because sometimes you want to try three different approaches without losing your place. Written in Go, available via Homebrew.

Rush Programming Language

Built an experimental programming language from scratch using AI pair programming. Functional + OO paradigms, three-tiered execution (interpreter → bytecode VM → ARM64 JIT), and surprisingly fun to write.

Intro to Transformers

Writing a book that teaches transformer architecture from first principles. Covers building transformers, understanding gradients, and generating images from noise.

Singular

2017

Wrote a science fiction novel called Singular. Vintage computers, artificial intelligence gone rogue, the fate of humanity.

The City

Founder · 2008

Built a social network for churches from scratch. Grew it to nearly a million users before Zondervan acquired it.

Amazon

1999

Built pricing algorithms and anomaly detection systems before “data science” was even a thing. Earned two patents.

Los Alamos National Lab

Intern

Wrote modeling software for the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. Very small role, but hey—the project’s chief scientist won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics.
