AI Focus & Engineering Principles

🧠 Current AI Focus & R&D

Agent Memory & Handoff: Designing cross-agent context persistence and stateful memory buses (ShareMemory).
On-Device Neural Inference: Optimizing WhisperKit, Core ML, and local models for Apple Silicon with zero cloud latency (NoType).
Context-Aware Ambient AI: Building native assistants that observe active visual and browser environments (Wisp).
Hardware-Aware Machine Learning: Bridging my Electrical Engineering foundation (bandwidth, latency, compute budgets) with edge AI execution.

⚡ AI Engineering Principles

Local-First & Private: Intelligence belongs near the user. On-device compute guarantees zero telemetry and zero network latency.
Ambient Context > Prompts: The best AI tools don't force users to craft prompts; they observe active context and act with tactile precision.
Autonomous Multi-Agent Loops: Shifting from single-turn chat boxes to persistent, collaborative agent handoffs and tool execution.
Systems Grounding (EE ➔ AI): Approaching models as physical, compute-constrained systems rather than black-box APIs.

More things I've made

AI Agent Projects _{Agent experiments, autonomous prototypes, and context workflows}	Browser Organizer _{A calm Chrome new-tab dashboard for active tabs and project sessions}	YC Todo _{Lightweight menu-bar tasks and timer focus, zero account required}
ShareMemory _{Shared project memory engine for Claude Code and Codex}	Screen Bridge _{Turns an iPad into a wireless, low-latency second display for Mac}	All Repositories → _{Everything else I build and share in the open}

Beyond code

When I'm not training local models or profiling macOS runtimes, I produce soundscapes, design visual narratives, and explore the intersection of human emotion and generative creativity.
