AI for the benefit of humankind

About

I build AI systems that close the loop between research, deployment, feedback, and iteration. Previously co-founded RIOS Intelligent Machines, where I helped bring AI-powered robotics into real industrial environments. Now I’m focused on compounding systems: agents, verifiers, memory, evaluation loops, and human-AI workflows that improve after contact with reality.

OpenDream - Open, local-first memory for AI agents (with dreaming)

OpenDream is an open, local-first memory layer for AI agents. It captures agent activity, turns useful history into reviewable memory, retrieves only relevant context for the next task, and shows what was selected, skipped, or marked stale. Use it across Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and other agent workflows without handing project memory to a hosted black box.
