I build intelligent systems, then hold them to evidence.

Production AI agents by day, pre-registered research on how they actually behave, and essays and films about the same question in other mediums: what does it take to know that a system works?

Memory Lives Beyond the Context WindowAn agent's memory is everything it can reach, not just its context window. A preprint, Reading More, Finding Less, tests that idea with pre-registered experiments and finds the failure is routing: a hand-curated memory index sent the agent to the wrong files, plain file search beat it, and saved memories almost never got read again. The full corpus and harness ship with the paper for re-running.

Can You Trust an AI to Grade Your AI?Many teams use one AI model to grade another one's answers, and then let that grade decide what ships. Almost nobody checks whether the grader itself can be trusted. This is what it took, on a real production system, to make the grader reliable enough that a failing score is allowed to stop a release.

Your AI Agent Passes Its Tests for the Wrong ReasonAI agents are built to remember, and that breaks their tests. When test cases share one user, each case inherits leftover memory from the one before it, so the pass rate measures the order the tests ran in, not the agent. Giving every test its own clean user and its own sealed world fixed that, and let the whole suite run in parallel for free.

Strategic Technical Debt

Deliberate technical debt, priced as a call option on the validated product: repayment is the strike, and you only pay it if the hypothesis survives.

Rethinking How We Understand PeopleFrom Gut Feelings to Contextual Intelligence There was a time when baseball teams chose players the way most companies still build teams today: by gut. Scouts would watch a player swing a bat or throw a pitch and evaluate them based on a set of unspoken heuristics: “He’s got a strong arm,” “He moves like a natural,” “He looks like a winner.” These judgments were built on experience, but they we...

Risk of being misunderstoodThe risk of not being transparent lies in the inevitability of being misunderstood. Imagine a scenario where you are smoking weed while living with someone, yet you hide this from them. Without the clarity of cause and effect, without revealing that key part of yourself, misunderstandings start to form. Cannabis, for instance, can affect people differently depending on the strain—Indica, Sativa...

Growth Through Mutual ReflectionWhen two people connect, they naturally reveal parts of each other that might otherwise remain hidden. This process isn’t always easy, as it often brings us face-to-face with aspects of ourselves we might prefer to ignore. Yet, through this connection, we begin to heal and grow in ways we couldn’t achieve on our own.

Leap of faithIt’s about those willing to bet it all, not knowing if it’ll fail. It’s about the courage to roll the dice, fully aware that losing is a possibility. At the end of the day, we must prepare for the chance that nothing will work out, yet still, we move forward. It isn’t about expecting failure but about embracing the unknown. It’s about understanding that real growth and connection come from taki...
