I'm inspired by interesting people with fascinating ideas.
Part-time technical leadership for startups and small teams: architecture, hiring, process, and help making the big technical calls before you need a full-time CTO.
A sounding board for founders and teams. I review plans and architectures, spot risks early, and bring thirty years of experience across AI, games, fintech and the web.
Rapid prototypes of LLM-powered products and features, drawing on decades of language-model research and day-to-day AI-first development.
Turn an idea into something real you can demo, put in front of users or show to investors, quickly and in whatever stack suits it.
I’ve spent three decades turning ambitious ideas into working software: award-winning chatbots in the 1990s, the scripting system for Black & White, the AI for L.A. Noire, and R&D at a company later acquired for $100M. These days I also build and ship my own products, like Git Lineage, working alongside AI coding agents.
Any kind of engagement works for me, from an hour of advice to a part-time role or a short, focused build. I’m less interested in fixed, corporate projects than in fascinating ideas and the people behind them. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear what you’re working on.
