Gaia Labs
A digital twin of the earth
Gaia Labs' mission is to create a simulation of the earth, with the goal of having 8 billion agents reflective of real psychographic and demographic breakdowns. A user asks Gaia a question, and a relevant panel of agents answer it on camera: who they are, where they live, what they believe, and what they would actually do.
I love asking it questions about things I'm thinking about, and it always offers different angles and viewpoints almost immediately. Even though accuracy will always be a hill climb, the diversity of values-based and geographic perspectives it offers is alone worth it for broadening your lens on any topic you may be mulling in your personal, professional, or financial life.
AI-native penetration testing
Uvy is an AI-native penetration tester. It attacks a customer's app and API the way a real adversary would, proves every exploitable finding with a working exploit, and returns an audit-ready report in days, not weeks. I design the product end to end: the Uvy Console, the assessment report, and the brand.
The console turns a live engagement into something a founder and an auditor can both read at a glance: risk posture, every OWASP category tested on every in-scope asset, confirmed findings with severity and remediation, and a one-click audit-ready report. The visual system is built for security work, a dark industrial surface with a single hazard-amber accent so signal always reads first.
Uvy is live at uvy.ai and runs continuously against customer engagements and its own stack. As with any active build, expect rough edges, and please send observations or ideas.
One API, All B2B Software
The world's foremost Unified API, providing a single API through which B2B products could add integrations with all third-party software in categories ranging from HR, payroll, recruiting, accounting, CMS, support help desks, project management, marketing automation, file storage, and more.
Merge was an immense undertaking which was met with resounding joy from customers, who no longer had to expend millions on software engineers to build and maintain integrations, which typically distract from core product development.
Built an enterprise product from 0 to 1, with fundraising through Series B ($55 million) backed by Accel, NEA, and Addition. Did things across product, design, engineering, marketing. Built Merge's first design team of five designers and contractors across product and brand design.
A Zoom Metaverse To Escape The Lockdown
An experiment to escape the pandemic into a digital universe constructed by applying an isometric navigational grid in an unbounded, unlimited 3D grid-space called the "metanet", using P2P web video protocols to allow for real-time and serendipitous video conversations.
Oil Painting
I also love painting oil on canvas and my preferred style is abstract impressionism. Each piece explores the interplay between color, texture, and emotion, capturing moments of spontaneous expression through bold brushwork and vibrant palettes. Physical strokes and acceptance of a human touch are integral to my practice.
