CEO & Co-Founder, PersistOS
Building AI for humans

about me

I'm the CEO and co-founder of PersistOS, where we're exploring the intersection of AI and human cognition.

I specialize in creating elegant, high-performance applications that bridge the gap between complex AI systems and intuitive user experiences.

When I'm not coding, I write, because the best solutions come from understanding both logic and emotion.

heycontext.co

An AI-powered memory and intelligence platform that creates persistent, evolving AI understanding of users through sophisticated content processing and psychological insight generation. Unlike ChatGPT or Claude which offer static memory, HeyContext builds dynamic, evolving AI understanding that grows with every interaction.

Core Features:

  • Thinking Lab: Context-aware conversations with persistent memory
  • Crystal Intelligence: AI extracts psychological insights from user content
  • Living Projects: Dynamic projects that evolve with AI-powered widgets
  • Smart Notes: AI-enhanced note-taking with rich text editing
Status: Actively being developed while open for Beta Testing, free tier available
Tech: AI, Memory Systems, Multi-Platform Integration

The Convergence

Open-source package that solves the learning problem for AI tool usage via evolution and reinforcement learning. Available now on GitHub and PyPI.

writing

I write about the intersection of technology and humanity, exploring how elegant code can solve complex problems and how poetry can inform our understanding of systems.

From technical deep-dives to philosophical musings, my writing bridges the gap between the technical and the human.

Poetry

Notes on Surviving Eternity

This collection of poetry is for anyone who's ever felt the weight of timeβ€”the way it bends, slips, and stretches beyond our control. It's about the pull of eternity and the fragile moments we try to hold within it. These poems ask what it means to exist in a world where everything is fleeting.

They explore the tension of free will and fate, the choices we make and the paths we don't take. They linger in the spaces where memory softens and sharpens time, where love feels eternal even as it fades, and where questions about the future outnumber the answers.
