Agent Dynamo
The AI agent platform I founded.
The problem
Big companies are racing to build and deploy AI, and the way they are doing it is not working. An MIT study found that 95% of companies’ generative AI pilots see no measurable return, on $30–40 billion invested.
The people who understand the work are not the ones building the agents. Every company runs procurement, finance and operations its own way, and an agent built without that knowledge does not survive contact with it.
What I built
Agent Dynamo puts building agents in the hands of the professionals who understand the work, so the agent a company gets is built around how it actually operates.
TikTok Platform
A fully automated B2C social marketing platform.
What I built
Built and shipped at super{set}: a fully automated platform that runs B2C social marketing on TikTok.
News Digest
A news digest I built.

Make the world more beautiful.
For the past three months I’ve been chasing the things that hit me hardest. Incredibly artistic cinema. Sunsets. Deep conversations with friends. Tech so impactful it doesn’t feel real.
They all give me the same overpowering feeling, and the closest word I have for it is beauty. I’ve had over a dozen conversations with people about where they feel it and what it means to them. Everyone describes it differently, and I haven’t gotten tired of asking.
The goal is to take what I learn and use it across invention, marketing, politics and art, to create more of that feeling in myself and in other people.
