Data & AI Systems Engineer working on visibility, measurement, and agentic systems.
AI now sits between people and what they’re looking for, and between work and the software that runs it. It answers, routes, remembers, forgets, and now acts on its own. Usually before anyone can check whether it got things right. I study that layer with original data and build the tools to work inside it. My background is the supply side of digital marketing: the crawl, the analytics, the automation and reporting, the plumbing under what looked like marketing. The marketing was never really the problem. Visibility, measurement, and control were. AI didn’t make that problem smaller. It moved it somewhere you can’t see.

Thesis
AI is changing two things at once: how people find information, and how work moves through software.
That shift isn’t only a search problem. It touches tracking, attribution, context, memory, handoff, and trust: the systems that decide what a person sees before they make a choice.
I work on that layer. Some of it is research: measuring what changes and publishing what holds up. Some of it is engineering: building tools and workflows that keep context, expose failures, and make AI-assisted work inspectable.
Focus
Writing
Extra friction at the moment of granting says nothing yet about grants already made. On a Mac where the terminal holds that permission, the rules Apple's engineers describe let a coding agent started there read with the terminal's access, and the agent picks its own commands.
Mods arrived in v2.1.287 as one line in the release notes. What they add is not reach, a plugin already ran as you. It is precedence: an installed mod answers after your rules and your PreToolUse hooks, and outside managed settings its answer is the one that stands.
Google is splitting access to its new frontier model by cyber safeguards, the way it did with 3.8 Flash and Anthropic did with Mythos. The developer build is still being tuned, so the benchmark table describes a model no developer will get in that form.
OpenAI's logs, a URL scanner's public archive and a statistics bureau each tell it differently. Whoever keeps the fullest account is also the one grading it.
One panel gives you a snapshot. A report compares two periods, and that is where most AI visibility changes turn out to be artifacts of the panel, the sample size or an unlogged model swap. The design that makes a trend checkable.
Switch to a model or an API account that can't read the earlier thinking, and the request still succeeds. The reasoning those turns built up is dropped before the model reads it, with no error and nothing on the bill. You only find out if you asked the API to report it.
Artifacts
Tools I’ve built around the same layer: memory, clipboard, agent handoff, monitoring. Local-first where it makes sense, from problems I hit directly.
A local-first clipboard environment for preserving workflow context on Windows. AI transforms, OCR, smart search, unlimited history. Built around the idea that the clipboard is not temporary — it is part of workflow memory.

A clipboard bridge between humans and AI agents. Read, write, and watch clipboard state through MCP. A small interaction primitive for agent-native workflows.

A browser-to-agent handoff surface. Send pages into agent workflows through a webhook, preserving context at the moment of browsing.

Scoped persistent memory for long-running coding agents. Local-first, MCP-native, designed so context survives across sessions without piling up.

A small operational monitor for Claude.ai limits.
