things i've shipped

product-first builds backed by technical primitives: crawling, browser runtime hooks, event pipelines, and explainable scoring.

creator economy · partnership intelligence

creatorgraph

brand-side dealflow engine for stan-style ecosystems. converts a brand url into a structured dossier, generates campaign briefs, ranks creators with explainable scoring, and outputs outreach grounded in real signals.

  • brand ingestion and dossier generation from web signals
  • deterministic scoring and ranking with stored match edges
  • brief and outreach generation grounded in brand and creator features
more
  • normalized creator and brand features into a scoring-friendly schema for explainability
  • designed a scoring breakdown so brands can audit why a creator ranked
  • iterating toward richer signals such as topic embeddings and audience fit priors

wallet safety

ensight

browser extension + backend that sits in the path of ethereum wallet requests and turns them into structured intent events, so users get readable explanations instead of opaque hex.

  • runtime interception of wallet request flows and transaction intents
  • structured intent event schema for downstream analysis and UI
  • lightweight risk heuristics and explainable breakdowns pre-signing
more
  • focused on turning wallet calls into a consistent event contract across providers
  • optimized for fast local analysis so the user experience stays interactive
  • designed for traceability: from raw call to parsed intent to explanation

documentation infra

docforge

documentation compiler and shared docset store for dynamic, js-heavy docs. renders pages, normalizes content, versions artifacts, and exposes fast search plus an agent-facing api for retrieval.

  • playwright rendering for js-heavy docs and consistent extraction
  • versioned doc artifacts with freshness checks and diffs
  • agent-facing retrieval surfaces to reduce repeated crawling
more
  • separates render, extract, normalize, and index into explicit stages
  • designed cacheable artifacts so multiple consumers reuse the same docsets
  • building toward structured knowledge outputs with stable ids over time

community graph · consent-first intros

cansbridge connects

internal connection layer for cansbridge scholars and fellows designed to reduce social pressure. sender requests an intro, recipient privately accepts or ignores, and only approvals create a connection.

  • recipient-gated intros that remove obligation and awkwardness
  • preference-aware connection intent to separate friends vs hiring asks
  • graph densification for senior retention and community continuity
more
  • designed the intro flow so the recipient holds the power by default
  • optimizing for retention and repeated engagement, not hiring throughput first
  • future phase: discovery layer that increases surface area without spam

personal data systems

daytrace

personal data system for structured life signals like location, habits, and activity. maps streams into an ontology so agents and humans can query an explainable graph of daily state.

  • stream to ontology mapping for durable, queryable state
  • traceable primitives for reflection and agent workflows
  • data modeling under uncertainty with explainability first
more
  • focus on stable concepts and ids so longitudinal analysis stays coherent
  • prioritizes readable representations over black-box summaries
  • built as a foundation for future agent tooling over personal data

browser telemetry

webtrace

browser sdk for live interaction and performance signals. captures fine-grained client events and streams structured data into a pipeline for analytics and optimization.

  • client-side instrumentation with structured event schemas
  • low overhead capture for behavior and timing signals
  • stream-friendly payloads designed for real-time analysis
more
  • built around contracts that stay stable as events evolve
  • optimized for signal quality without turning into surveillance bloat
  • designed for replayability and debugging of event flows

labs & experiments

experiments

small, focused builds exploring system design, browser internals, and agent-native interfaces. each one makes the reasoning and tradeoffs explicit instead of hiding them.

  • system design sketches and working prototypes
  • browser internals exploration and tooling
  • agent-native interfaces and docs experiments
more
  • kept as a public engineering notebook of constraints and decisions
  • used to test primitives before promoting them to larger products

experience

early systems builder

founding-engineer style work across browser tooling, pipelines, agents, and marketplaces. end-to-end ownership from primitives and abstractions to hardening under real traffic.

stealth startup logostealth startup

shipped a b2b behavioral intelligence platform with a browser sdk, streaming pipelines, and inference layers for adaptive marketing systems.

  • browser sdk instrumentation
  • streaming / event pipelines
  • inference / optimization layer
more
  • designed the event schema and contracts between client, stream, and inference layer
  • made tradeoffs around latency vs depth of analysis for in-session decisions
  • built internal tooling to replay traffic and validate new inference logic

built ai-driven growth agents and early infrastructure for scalable distribution systems.

  • agent workflows and orchestration
  • automation pipelines
  • early platform infra
more
  • defined the core agent loop: perception → planning → action → logging
  • built guardrails and failure modes to keep agents debuggable, not magic
  • set up basic observability around agent runs and downstream effects
