Work
For two decades, I have built open source projects, service businesses, research systems, and agent-native companies around one recurring question: how can small teams use software to do work that used to require large organizations? The current edge is an adaptive runtime, governed company context, and a web agents can understand.
Current focus
The active edge of the thesis
Build snapshot · August 2026: Punk and Pantasso remain in sustained production hardening; July became the busiest recorded private contribution month at 3,927, moving the private rank from #1,769 on July 17 to #1,285 on August 1. See the dated contribution record.
Punk
Proof-first adaptive runtime
An adaptive runtime for production AI agents that learns from repeated work, proves cheaper paths, and keeps the live model as fallback.
Punk observes expensive repetition, proves cheaper execution paths against evidence, governs risky actions, and preserves the live model as fallback.
Pantasso
Governed company context
Governed company context for AI-native teams: cited answers, honest gaps, SQL-accessible records, and scoped access for assistants.
Pantasso turns approved chats, documents, files, and business systems into cited answers, canonical records, honest gaps, and scoped access.
Plasmate
Open source browser infrastructure
A browser and semantic format for the web consumer that does not have eyes.
Plasmate compiles pages into a Semantic Object Model so agents can work with structure, intent, and affordances instead of raw HTML and pixels.
The map
Organized by the question each project answers
The work looks disparate when sorted by industry. It becomes coherent when sorted by the problem being tested: infrastructure, service delivery, solo leverage, agent operation, open source distribution, and lessons from prior waves.

Eras
A lifetime of work, not a pile of projects
Each era sharpened the same instinct: find a consumer class that existing infrastructure underserves, then build the missing layer that gives smaller teams more leverage.
2011-2015
Open source and small-business leverage
The earliest pattern was making expensive business capability available to smaller organizations: CRM, marketing automation, services, and community-led software.
2016-2022
Headless systems, ownership, and web3 experiments
The work moved toward APIs, ownership, programmable finance, identity, and markets. Many of these were experiments, but they built the muscle for autonomous systems.
2023-2025
AI-native services and operating experiments
The focus shifted from software people use to agents that do the work: sales, education, commerce, social media, trading, and customer operations.
2025-2026
The operating stack for AI agents
The current arc connects an adaptive runtime, governed company context, and an agent-readable web with the systems that let agents act and improve safely.

The complete record
Some are companies. Some are proofs. Some are archived lessons. The index is kept complete because the body of work matters more than a polished highlight reel.
