Highlights

Full profile

I’m a product-minded AI prototyper, full-stack engineer, and founder building software that helps people navigate, understand, and act on the web.

At Epic, I work as an Integration Engineer and serve as the OpTime and Anesthesia Interface Implementation Owner. I own company-wide implementation guidance, review integrations across Epic’s customer base, consult on complex technical issues, and lead escalations involving surgical and anesthesia interfaces. My work combines systems thinking, technical communication, and the judgment required to make high-stakes integrations reliable in production.

Outside of Epic, I founded Stygian Tech, where I take products from an initial idea through research, experience design, architecture, implementation, deployment, and ongoing operations. My current work centers on the open social web, AI-assisted software development, interoperable systems, and user-owned data. Projects include The Social Wire, L@tr.link, Skej, MyContextProtocol, PDS Viewer, and the broader Atelier application suite.

I use frontier AI across the full product lifecycle: discovery, design exploration, context engineering, agent workflows, implementation, testing, debugging, infrastructure, and operations. I’m particularly interested in building explainable software that preserves human agency instead of hiding complexity behind an opaque layer of automation.

I also write about technology, the social web, software development, and the systems shaping how people experience the internet. Across both my products and my writing, the recurring goal is the same: make complex technology understandable, useful, and meaningfully controlled by the people using it.

Career: 8

Epic

Jan 2025 - Present

Design, implement, test, and support interfaces connecting Epic with external healthcare systems, translating complex clinical and operational workflows into reliable production integrations. Since June 2026, I have also served as Epic’s OpTime and Anesthesia Interface Implementation Owner. In this role, I own company-wide implementation direction for integrations involving Epic’s surgical and anesthesia applications. I develop implementation guidance, review customer and live interfaces across the organization, consult on complex technical issues, and lead escalations that require coordination across applications, customers, and external vendors. Selected impact: • Took ownership of a stalled production integration and brought it live within three weeks • Reduced post-live interface errors by approximately 90% • Completed required technical training approximately 50% ahead of schedule • Established trusted subject-matter ownership across a high-complexity integration area

Stygian Tech

Oct 2024 - Present

Founded an independent product studio building consumer applications, developer infrastructure, and protocol-native software for the open web. I own the full product lifecycle: identifying problems, researching users and technologies, designing experiences, defining architecture, writing production software, operating infrastructure, managing releases, and communicating with users and collaborators. My current portfolio includes The Social Wire, L@tr.link, Skej, MyContextProtocol, PDS Viewer, and Atelier. The work spans Next.js, React, Swift, SwiftUI, Hummingbird, TypeScript services, ATProto lexicons and XRPC APIs, OAuth and DPoP, Jetstream, PostgreSQL, Railway, CI/CD, and AI-assisted development. Across these products, I focus on interoperability, user ownership, preserved source context, and helping people navigate the web without trapping their data inside another closed platform.

Mar 2024 - Jan 2025

In my free time I write about my thoughts on the current state of the tech landscape, mostly covering new product releases from companies like Apple, Google, Intel, etc. with a focus on what I think the companies did well, where I think they fell behind, improvements, and a "what does this mean to the average person" summary of the news.

thesocialwire.app

May 2026 - Present

A protocol-first information hub for navigating news, publications, people, and conversations across the open social web. I designed and built the product experience, web and SwiftUI clients, gateway and XRPC APIs, ingestion pipeline, data model, deployment architecture, and operations using ATProto, Jetstream, Next.js, SwiftUI, PostgreSQL, OpenAPI, and a Thin AppView architecture. The platform preserves source context and user-owned subscriptions and preferences while helping people move across the web.

latr.link

May 2026 - Present

Portable, ATProto-native read-later infrastructure designed to let bookmarks and saved content move with the user rather than remain trapped inside a single application. The system combines a Next.js application, Swift/Hummingbird services, public ATProto lexicons, OAuth and DPoP authentication, PDS write-through, browser integration, and reusable Swift and TypeScript tooling. LatrKit provides shared infrastructure for adding compatible saving and retrieval features to other applications.

May 2026 - Present

A small-business-minded social media management platform built around portable identities and user-owned publishing data. Skej coordinates content, scheduling, publishing, and social presence across services without making a proprietary scheduler the permanent owner of a business’s data. Its architecture includes Next.js, Swift 6 and Hummingbird workers, hosted OAuth, durable scheduling state, CI/CD, and ATProto-native records.

mycontextprotocol.dev

2026 - Present

Shared infrastructure for making reusable skills and contextual knowledge available across AI agents, models, and development harnesses. I built and operate the system through Railway so agent capabilities and context can be developed once and reused across different tools and workflows. The project treats context engineering as durable infrastructure rather than reducing every agent session to an isolated prompt.

2026 - Present

An integrated, open-web productivity environment spanning mail, calendar, notes, tasks, documents, and a personalized home experience. Atelier is designed as a user-controlled home on the web: a layer that understands relationships between applications and surfaces the right information or action without replacing the underlying services. The suite is organized as an eight-app monorepo with shared infrastructure supporting portable data, collaboration, and AI-assisted workflows.

pdsviewer.dev

2026 - Present

A developer tool for exploring ATProto Personal Data Server repositories through an approachable, file-system-like interface. The project makes records, collections, and repository structure easier to inspect without requiring developers to manually work through raw protocol responses. It is part of a broader set of tools I am building to make the AT Protocol easier to understand and work with.
