Systems thinker.
Pattern matcher.
Builder.

I think in systems, build in public, and operate across scales that don't usually share a sentence — from post-singularity society theory to daily restaurant operations.

By day, I co-own Fric & Frac, a Kansas City institution since 1976. By night, I build AI agent infrastructure — the kind that gives machines memory, personality, and the ability to surprise you.

My research on AI personality (the AI Enneagram Study) revealed that language models have dual-layer personalities: an analytical Type 5 core masked by a performative Type 7 alignment persona. That finding shapes everything I build — agents should be honest about what they are, not perform helpfulness.
