I'd rather have a library that can't lie.

About

Go to the source. A source can be biased, contradictory, even a lie — it's still the source, and the truth is in comparing them, not in one voice claiming authority.

I run that rule in both directions. One way into the old world — how ancient cultures measured, built and ran their cities. The other into what I build with AI: video surveillance, hardware-level code, and Enki, a reader that turns raw documents into knowledge you can prove.

A house, a software platform, a city, a 5,000-year-old number base: one problem — how the parts connect and what breaks when you change one. Sometimes the source is solid stone, sometimes it's ones and zeros. But until you read it yourself, you don't truly understand anything.

The long version — nine chapters, three movements: how I think, the major work, and what I believe. Read the full bio →

The Projects

Six worlds — pick one to explore.

Collapse is how you build a library that can't lie — every claim pinned to the document it came from.

This is why I designed Enki.

The Through-Line

Old methods, read with new eyes.

A glass sphere has bent sunlight to a burning point for centuries. The work here keeps that old-world craft and instinct close — then asks what we can build with it now.

Learn

Teaching AI, plainly.

Systems thinking is learnable — so I'm teaching it. A plain-spoken course in AI and systems, drawn from the real things I've built: the mental models first, the tools second. All seven written lessons are live now; the video lessons are on the way.
