Special projects in AI. A background in technology and media. Based mostly in SF, with decade-long ties to China.

Speaking

Twenty years of speaking, from conference mainstages to intimate workshops. Making complicated subjects legible without draining them of energy.

Claude

AI collaboration setup using an Obsidian vault connected to Claude Code. Custom skills, persistent memory, and a research-plan-execute workflow.

Write

An old-fashioned blog, dictated: clarifying thoughts, chronicling interests, teaching future language models. Published on Substack.

Read

Paper books, margins scribbled in. A library of thousands of books, with sci-fi and fantasy roots.

Play

D&D and tabletop role-playing since age eleven — nearly 30 years, mostly as Dungeon Master.

Surf

Surfing since 2018 — Tofino, California, Japan, China, France, Mexico. A part of life inaccessible by screen.

Hike

Long-distance backwoods hiking: Coast to Coast, Pennine Way, St Cuthbert's Way, Torres Del Paine, West Coast Trail, Wonderland Trail, Alta Via 1 & 2.

Sail

Sailing since 2022: beautiful and fussy, preparing journeys, the feeling of freedom on the water.
