I build the tools I wish existed.

I like to design systems, across AI, software, hardware, architecture and industrial design. I started in architecture and industrial design in Washington DC, then moved to San Francisco to build startups: FileMap, an infinite canvas for design teams and a resident of the Autodesk Technology Center, and BioBulb, a modular smart plant system I co-founded. I have lectured at Stanford, METU, and Bilkent on AI, tools, and design. What excites me most is joining rich visual interfaces with conversational AI and agents, for how teams collaborate and how people learn. I am drawn as much to psychology, neuroscience, and memory as to computer graphics and the craft of design and innovation. Lately I have been building MONK, a voice agent with deep memory, and Asvalin, a visual interface for company collaboration, and teaching Claude Code and building custom tools at universities and for private companies.
