open call
Winter'27
As a designer, I'm naturally curious about what people are building and why, so I keep Fridays open, informally, for founders and researchers. What's blocking you, where you're headed, what you're excited about. Sometimes that turns into an intro for raising or hiring.
Early stage
- Local AI and active inference
- Physical / Hardware AI
- Machine learning for finance and fraud detection
- Developer & Creative tools
- Not limited at that.
I'd love to hear if these interest you too.
Personal research
Open, local, private AI
— I believe that AI is more of commodity, that people (us) should own and control its development, not the other way around.
Using AI to go analog
— a way to cope with daily information overload rather than add to it.
Cognitive and computational psychology
— Improving current approaches to AI design; how AI could build on what we're already good at: widen our attention budget, not flood it with more to read; help to practice different ways of thinking, make learning and life accessible — like feel more confident speaking a non-native language, in-ear navigation, focus on augmentation.
Explainability, AI authorship
— one of the most crucial problems right now, tied to trust and security, especially in VLAs.
Digital archiving
— preserving original sources, or "fingerprints of truth".
