I design AI products and I build them. End to end. One person.
AI Engineer + Product Designer based in Los Angeles. 15 years shipping software. 5 years as the only product designer on VALK (now DatAI Network), a fintech platform used by 70+ financial institutions. Now I architect multi-agent systems, build RAG pipelines, fine-tune models with LoRA, and ship full-stack AI products from idea to production.
I came at AI from product design first. Most of my engineering decisions are really design decisions in different clothes — what to expose, what to hide, who's actually using the thing.
Dory — shared memory layer for AI agents. I use Claude, Codex, Hermes, and OpenClaw daily, and they all started every session from zero. So I built the layer underneath: markdown files as the source of truth, SQLite as a disposable index, five verbs. Didn't make my agents smarter — made them continuous. Open-source, MIT, runs locally.
