The current immersion.
Updated when the chapter changes. For depth on any of these, see the linked pages.
Through April 2026
AI as real infrastructure.
~5,000 AI-assisted engineering sessions across 30+ repos in the last six months. The thesis: the frontier model isn’t the moat anymore — the scaffolding is. Local 9B models can ship code if you give them docs, persistent state, and explicit task tracking. Detail on /projects.
Always running
Three peer products on Cardano.
ADA Handles — the platform. HAL — the minting layer that ran ~4K chained transactions faster than the chain settled. K.O.R.A. — the autonomous Discord ops agent that runs day-to-day operations across both. All three on /work.
In flight
Cutovers, subhandles, recovery.
Smart contracts moving to Aiken (DeMi and SubHandles done; Personalization next). TX-building library moving to @cardano-sdk/*. SubHandles continuing to ship — hierarchical handles via Aiken. Social-recovery design surface at secrets.handle.me — fallback for self-custody loss without reintroducing custodians.
Off-screen
Coaching baseball.
Two boys, multiple seasons. Same sport I played through school plus some adult league.
