What I'm doing now

Last updated July 2026

A snapshot, not a résumé — the handful of things with most of my attention right now. It goes stale on purpose; that's the point.

Work

  • Heads-down on Kugelblitz’s public beta — pushing on truthfulness and latency so an avatar feels less like a demo and more like a conversation.
  • Hiring slowly and deliberately. If you’re a strong engineer who cares about voice, RAG, or evaluation, say hello.

Building & learning

  • Getting sharper on evaluation for generative systems — how you measure “truthful” without fooling yourself.
  • Relearning how much of good ML work is really data and feedback loops, not models.

Thinking about

  • Where the honest line sits between a helpful avatar and one that pretends to be a person.
  • Economics and philosophy of AI — who gets amplified, and who gets flattened.

Life

  • Vienna. Two small kids, so my “free time” is a rounding error — and I wouldn’t trade it.
  • Carrying a camera again. Trying to take one photograph a week that I’d actually print.

This is a /now page, an idea from Derek Sivers. If you have one, I'd love to read it.
