People matter. Objects don't. I founded Kogi AI to turn mechanical knowledge into clear, usable guidance. I have built teams across payments, streaming video, and IT services, and I founded Sinu, which was acquired by Electric.ai.

Field Notes

Writing + X

The best of what I publish across long-form writing and X. Curated, blended, and prioritized for what matters right now.

Current Focus

Kogi AI

Mechanical machines are crucial to our lives. To reach Mars and beyond, we need reliable vehicles. Kogi uses advanced AI to create continually updated, interactive 3D animations accessible on any device.

What this unlocks

Faster repairs, consistent training, and fewer critical failures. The real shift is giving technicians a living map of how systems behave instead of static PDFs.

Philosophy

Functional
Excellence

When something has the same level of quality from every angle you experience it.
