A curious AI native product builder with 3 years of experience, tinkering with software, systems and small magical products. I combine product thinking, engineering rigour, and a way of rallying teams around a shared north star. The goal stays the same. Ship things that feel like customer delight.

Chapter iv, the proofs

Products I built out of curiosity.

Cortex

In progress

Agentic orchestration, a software factory that works alongside humans and makes them ten times themselves.

KYA, Know Your Agent

Open Source

A registry that gives agents real identity. Stops bot traffic. Lets agents transact indistinguishably from humans on the open web.

thenicebroker

Voice first

Voice first agentic rental hunt that understands your pain points, makes the tradeoffs, and never bothers the owner.

pryska

Fintelligence

AI native financial intelligence. Agents pricing in the truths the world doesn't know yet.

chaosmos

Experiment

Cymatics × music theory × chaos theory. Gravitational waves and cosmos rendered through sight and sound.

margin notes

What I usually read for fun.

I keep wandering across psychology, product, engineering, philosophy, economics, business and history, looking for the hidden lines that connect them.

Let us build the future together.

If any of this resonated, I'd love to buy you a coffee and talk. Future, Agents, AI, Tech, Products, Philosophy, or just movies and life.
