Welcome — Why I Finally Built This Site

I’ve been meaning to build a personal site for years. I kept putting it off because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say. A portfolio felt too corporate. A blog felt too… bloggy. I wanted something that captured the full picture: what I’ve built, what I’m thinking about, and where I think things are going.

So here it is.

What Changed

Two things pushed me over the edge:

First, the AI Builder Era. Since December 2025, I’ve been building intensively with AI coding agents — Claude, Cursor, Clawdbot. The experience has been transformative. I’ve shipped more in two months than I shipped in two years at my day job. The bottleneck isn’t “can you code?” anymore. It’s “can you think clearly about what to build?”

This site was built in a day using those same tools. That felt like a statement worth making. (Also, gotta pay for that Claude Max 20x Pro subscription somehow.)

Second, I want to think in public. I’ve spent 15 years advising companies, founding startups, and trying to see around corners. Some of my bets paid off (META → CZI, Hamilton real estate). Some didn’t. But the exercise of thinking about the future — really thinking, not just reacting — has been valuable. I want to do more of it, and I want to do it where others can engage.

Why “The Sauce Code”?

A play on “source code,” obviously. But it’s more than that.

Over 15 years I’ve picked up some sauce — the hard-won insights, mental models, and ways of thinking that actually work. The stuff you can’t easily find in a book. The frameworks that help you see around corners. The lessons from bets that paid off and ones that didn’t.

This is where I give it away. The sauce code.

What You’ll Find Here

Shipping. The things I’ve built: Bridge7 Oncology (AI in cancer care), Westinghouse HQ ($15M heritage restoration), and the companies I’ve helped reach exits.

Thinking. Essays on AI-human collaboration, systems thinking, what it means to build things that matter. I taught philosophy before I got into tech, and that background shapes everything I do.

Bets. Where I think the world is going. The AI agents revolution. The rise of people who can think clearly and ship code.

The Thread

The common thread in everything I do: I build at the intersection of technology and humanity. Not technology for its own sake. Technology that makes humans better, that solves real problems, that creates value where others see decay.

That’s what I care about. That’s what I’m here to explore.

Welcome.
