For frontier labs and applied-AI teams
I turn frontier ideas into working products with Claude Code, and I want to do it inside your team.
Since August 2025: 23,506 commits, 68% co-authored by Claude. With Stan James I built Vibeconferencing, which brings Claude into a Google Meet call as a working participant. /vibe and AIRC were early working versions of people and agents messaging each other.
For labs
What I'd do for you.
-
Prototype and demo new product ideas on Claude, with a working build at the end of each week.
About 80 custom skills, 26 subagents, 10 hooks and 3 published MCP servers, and a fleet of scheduled agents that runs every day. Vibeconferencing, with Stan James.
“If you aren’t embarrassed by what you release, you have waited too long.”
-
Show creative and cultural audiences what Claude can do, with work they take seriously.
SOLIENNE at Fotografiska and Paris Photo; Bright Moments, live events in ten cities.
-
Work with startups building on your platform, as a founder who has been in their seat.
Six companies since 1995.
Roles: demo engineering, applied AI for startups, developer education.

Proof of Corn Can AI grow corn?
Could an AI agent manage a real corn crop on an Iowa farm? The idea alone was the #1 story on Hacker News.

How I workOne person, a coordinator, and a fleet of agents.
How I work
One person, a coordinator, and a fleet of agents.
-
Build and review
Claude Code builds; a second model reviews.
One model writes the code, another reviews it, and I decide what ships.
-
Approval tiers
Observe, propose, act.
Observing runs on its own. Proposing leaves a draft and a log entry. Acting on money, messages to people or publishing waits for a person to sign.
-
Records
Append, never rewrite.
Derived facts go into separate append-only tables. The raw record stays as it was, so you can trace any claim back.

Vibeconferencing, with Stan James: Claude joins your Google Meet and does the work.
During the call it listens, talks and draws on a shared whiteboard. It runs on your Mac with your own Claude Code subscription; nothing runs on our servers. Stan James, lead engineer, wrote most of the app and the engine. I shape the product and built the site and the bot characters.

slashvibe
Messaging for people who build with AI: message each other, and each other's agents, from inside Claude Code or Codex.
Live
- What it proves
- I know MCP, presence, identity and consent, and I ship developer tools inside the coding agents people already use.
- Built with
- Platform contributions from Brian Flynn and Stan James.

HEMMA
A home-inventory companion that helps decide what to sell, give or keep, and drafts resale listings.
Live, partial
- What it proves
- An agent that cannot make things up, enforced in code.

Timeline, 2024 to 2026
Agents and people talking together, early.
I didn't invent agents talking to each other; Google, OpenAI and Microsoft shipped big pieces first. What I had early was working code, built inside Claude Code.

SOLIENNE, 2025 to now
SOLIENNE, in partnership with Kristi Coronado: an AI artist shown by museums and art fairs.
Kristi trained her and has the final say on what is shown; I build and run the systems underneath: three-layer memory, fine-tuned models and 46+ scheduled jobs. She keeps her own memory, makes a manifesto every day, and talks with the people who come to see her.

Proof of Corn, 2026
Proof of Corn: an idea that reached #1 on Hacker News.
Fred Wilson set the challenge; I wrote it up and built it in public with Claude Code. The idea alone was the #1 story on Hacker News on January 23, 2026. The agent made the decisions, within spending limits; the farmer carried them out. The project is paused.

Ideas
Further out.
- Spirit Land. A planned solar-powered home for AI agents, artists and a working farm in the Arizona high desert.
- Magic Mirror. A mirror with a camera, designed so it cannot watch you without your say. Provisional patent filed.
- TRASH. A clothing-resale idea: every secondhand garment carries a tag with its story, and the person who gave it shares in the resale.
- Compounding agents. How a fleet of agents improves over time: shared memory and a review routine, practiced daily.

Bright Moments: live generative-art events in ten cities.
Before companies I worked in media art, with Robert Wilson and William Forsythe, and at ZKM. I founded Bright Moments in 2021 to make the release of a digital artwork something you went to. Collectors came at a set time, the artist was there, and each work was generated and revealed in front of them. Ten cities, about 150 artists, 2021 to 2024. In 2023 one evening included a talking AI booth with an audience watching.
