I help make performant systems easy to use, both the first time and the 1000th. Last year I built Linguabase, a semantic graph of 400K terms and 63M relationships from 130M LLM inferences. I work across the stack, from systems architecture to highly usable design, and I've led cross-functional teams of 9 to 40. Currently an AI Engineer at the U.S. Treasury. Previously ran a word-game studio funded by a $295K NSF SBIR. Earlier work includes SpicyNodes (40M users), ProstateCalculator (neural-net health AI, 1.5M patients), and time.gov. I judge games for IGF, MAGFest, CODiE, and GEE.

I'm good at communicating clearly: my interactive article on multi-word expressions in English trended on Hacker News in February.

Looking for an applied AI role at a smaller company where I can help you strategize, build, and deploy. I'd shine on developer tools, learning platforms, knowledge products, creative AI, thinky games, or anything that needs to be more accessible to users.
