"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination."
I value making an impact on the world and fear being forgotten. I'm driven by curiosity and a desire to create useful tools that help others.

My approach to projects tends to be compulsive rather than strictly scheduled—working intensely when motivation strikes rather than forcing productivity.

Environmentally conscious, I designed Altbot to use low-power LLMs to minimize carbon footprint while providing accessibility services.

Latest Writing

What if social media moderated itself?

I’ve been thinking about social media a lot lately. Not in the way most people think about it, scrolling, posting, whatever. I mean thinking about the fundamental structure of how these platforms work and why they all seem to fail in their own special ways.

Big tech social media is surveillance. That’s not hyperbole, that’s just what it is. Every click tracked, every interaction analyzed, every piece of data sold or used to predict your behavior.

An oppressed state, is a sad state. A surveilled state, is a complaint state.

When you don't know what a state is doing, not only must you assume that the state is doing what is best for them. But also that they are doing everything they can, to know what you are doing.

Who is the state? Who is they? If you don't know who they are, they are hiding.
