Most of the code at these companies is private, so I describe my part instead of linking it.

Who ships the code now

For the first month, I was the only one writing code for the Vers1ons platform. The engineering team has written most of it since, and I gave each engineer an area of the product to run, such as royalties, payments, the design system or Nexus, the tool that finds everyone who owns a piece of a song.

I started building TradeCanny's platform in April 2025 and handed the build to its founder that November, after setting up the repo, the instructions its coding agents follow and the checks every pull request runs. Since then he has shipped most of its changes, including a futures broker integration. I'm still on call.

DepthChartIQ's repo was nine days old when its CEO merged his first pull request. He ships his own changes now. He also tests the product's AI advisor himself. He plays the athlete, writes up what went wrong and decides which of the agent's fixes to keep.

Music companies and a biotech

Vers1ons only works if labels and publishers trust it with their music, so part of my job is turning what their teams need into how the product works.

Vers1ons has applied to Universal Music Group for approval as a platform its labels can use, and the technical side of that review is mine. When Atlantic Music Group, the label group 10K Projects is part of, explained who prepares a catalog and who is allowed to sign for it, I redesigned how Vers1ons models a label around that split. An engineer on the team built the step that sends the terms to the person who signs. Universal Music Publishing Group and Warner Chappell, the publishing arm of Warner Music Group, are among the publishers talking with Vers1ons. And in October I built Avocado, a Vers1ons product, on site with Warner Music Group's team.

I'm a key technical advisor to Origin Studios, a music AI company. It has been in talks with the talent management company Range Media Partners and NVAK Collective, which gives artists a label's services without a record deal.

Outside music, I've been working with City Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biotech, since June. It started with setting up AI tools on site for its leadership team and teaching Claude to make decks in City's brand. I do this work with my partners in HaiPhai, an AI firm for biotech.

Off hours

My development machines run on a Proxmox server at home, configured with Ansible and reached through Cloudflare tunnels.

I hike and ski. I also ride an electric unicycle.

I make small tools for people I know. One is a worksheet generator built for an occupational therapist. Another is a one-click sticker cutter for a friend, built on a pretrained image-segmentation model.
