Software engineer
Embedded firmware to web and mobile products
I build software wherever the problem is: embedded firmware, backend services, games, and web and mobile products. I tend to leave behind the test infrastructure and frameworks that other engineers rely on. Most recently I wrote C++ and Rust for DC fast chargers at EcoG. Before that I directed engineering at Zynga. Outside of code I love music, the humanities and science; here is what shaped me.
Also: curious & caffeinated seeker, connector, dopamine chaser, serotonin farmer and universal consciousness tapper, dream spigot, grandiose, childish, emotionally sensitive absurdist that loves music, literature, artists, science and philosophy.
Engagements · KFTCDA
Fixed-price engineering for software that has to work. We agree on a result we can both check, such as regression in minutes, devices that recover themselves or a team that works AI-native, and I'm paid as each milestone is met. Never by the hour.
Full-time
Open to staff and principal roles where a codebase needs structure: test infrastructure, fault handling, systems architecture and the frameworks other engineers build on.
My own product, sites I build for others, and the experiments I write for fun.
New · A real model, live in your browser
How an LLM works
A tiny GPT trained on Shakespeare. Type anything and watch it through every step: tokens, attention, the MLP, the next character.
Live simulation
Lab
Small models with simple rules, running live on the GPU. Open one and poke at it.
Client work
Websites
I build and host websites for $50/mo.
WebGPU · Up to a million atoms
Physics
Atoms that condense, freeze and flow, simulated live from one force law.

Public projects and experiments
Arturia MicroFreak · Tutorials
MicroFreak
Every knob mapped, and how I make sounds with it, step by step.
Interactive visualizations of how electric cars and chargers talk, drawn from the standards.
IEC 61851-1 · SAE J1772
Control Pilot
One wire, a ±12 V square wave and a few resistors run every AC charging session.
CCS · CHAdeMO · GB/T
DC charging session
One fast charge in five protocols: every message, signal and contactor from plug-in to unplug.
WebGL · Five protocols
A charge, on film
Watch every message fly down the cable between car and charger, then power pour in. Switch protocols and watch it again.
The songs, books, films and minds I keep going back to.

Robot walks into a bar / Orders a drink, lays down a bill / Bartender says, hey, we don't serve robots / And the robot says, oh, but someday you will
