I make technology disappear.
Twenty years of smart homes, now AI. Built so you never have to think about the machinery. This isn't a pitch for anything, it's where all of it lives.

Learning, building, teaching.
I build software with AI. Fast, hands-on, figuring it out as the tools change underneath me. Claude Code is basically how I work now. I'm the kind of person who has to pull the new thing apart to understand it, then show everyone what I found inside.
Twenty years of that same instinct went into designing smart homes before I turned it on AI.
Along the way I've ended up teaching this stuff to all kinds of people, taking them on the journey from confused to confident, making the complex simple and actually usable in their day-to-day. Different rooms every time, same job: take something that sounds complicated and make it click. That's honestly the part I'm best at. If any of it's useful (figuring out what AI actually looks like in your specific role, not the generic version), happy to talk it through.

“Complex underneath. Simple to live with.”
For nearly twenty years I designed technology into some of the most luxurious homes in the country: built so the family never saw the machinery, never had to think about it. Then AI showed up and I realised the same idea could apply to almost anything. I'm not new to this. I've just changed materials.

Same instinct as the code, just pointed at a camera instead of a screen: pay close enough attention and you start seeing things other people walk past. A fisherman rowing out of Sorrento at dusk, a chef mid-order in Tokyo, a porter on the Capri marina.
Everything I do for work moves fast. This doesn't.
Same instinct as the code, just with my hands instead of a keyboard: gravel raked by hand, a maple, a few placed rocks. The deliberate counterweight to being this deep in AI every day.

Future Human
Thinking out loud about reinvention in the age of AI.
That's Future Human: work, identity, parenting, staying sharp, and the question underneath it all, what do we still have that AI doesn't?

Whether it's about a project, Future Human, photography, Japan, or figuring out AI for your own role, I read every message myself.
