Projects

Things I've built, organized, and investigated.

Software systems, housing developments, documentaries, community festivals, ML pipelines. Each one is a lens on how design decisions shape human outcomes.

Theseus

The Epistemic Engine

You feed it research. It finds what contradicts, what connects, and what’s missing. Six independent analysis passes chain together, track provenance, and surface structural holes no human reader would catch.

Built to reason, not retrieve.

CommonPlace

A Knowledge Workbench

Every knowledge worker has a graveyard. Abandoned Notion databases, dead Roam graphs, Obsidian vaults nobody tends. CommonPlace is the system that keeps itself alive. The engine does the connecting you always meant to do manually. Objects cluster without folders. Forgotten work resurfaces when it matters again.

Objects exist. Nodes happen.
