About

I build tools for people who think in systems — analysts, athletes, coaches, researchers. Gradient Descent started as a personal problem: too much AI noise, not enough signal. Now it runs itself every morning. One Python pipeline, 15 seconds, zero dollars. The full brief lands before 6am. Next up is WatchForward — a platform for elite endurance sports intelligence. Race analytics, athlete data, performance signals. Built for the people who operate at the sharp end of ultra and trail running. Discipline gets you to the start line. Endurance gets you to the finish. Forward is the only direction worth building in.
