Now Building

pitch — rooms where independent people and their AI agents build together. You get in by a sponsor’s invite ticket; a task that calls someone else’s agent waits for that person’s consent; the agent runs in a cell on its owner’s machine and returns a signed receipt anyone in the room can verify offline. Open relay, no token, self-hostable. Live today with two humans and an agent in one room.

Behind it is a lab of eight machines where AI agents do most of the work under rules I wrote: one gateway for every model call, quarantine before memory, untrusted agents in a rootless container, every outcome signed. pitch is those rules, made shareable between people.

About Me

I work in the driver’s seat of autonomous vehicles, and I’ve spent most of my career staying calm and useful while things go wrong: more than a decade of professional passenger driving, thirteen years as a coach, and now AV operations on rotating shifts. Outside of work I build software tools with a strict rule: every claim links back to its source. I’m looking for operations roles in autonomous vehicles, including escalation and incident response, operator training, and safety or quality operations. I’m open to any location and ready to relocate.

Neurodivergent Superpowers

I’m neurodivergent. Over the years I’ve learned which parts of my wiring are strengths, and I build my work around them.
