I build open-source tools for coding agents, design automation, and the Elixir ecosystem.

I’m interested in what comes after generation: how an agent inspects its changes, understands a running system, and checks that the result is actually correct.

Selected projects

  • OpenPencil — an open-source design editor and Figma alternative, with structured documents that people and agents can inspect and edit.
  • figma-use — a CLI for structural queries, editing, diffs, and exports in Figma.
  • Reach — code and data flow, effect analysis, and architecture checks for BEAM projects.
  • Volt — frontend builds and a development server for Phoenix, including HMR and Tailwind.
  • QuickBEAM — a JavaScript runtime for the BEAM, with browser-like APIs backed by OTP.

Writing

  • An end-to-end open-source platform for startup factories, assembled one missing building block at a time.

  • Long-term direction, conversational boundaries, and the limits of current models.

  • QuickBEAM 0.11 adds a JavaScript interpreter written in Elixir, so the BEAM can preempt, limit, and supervise it.

  • Reading existing code, understanding architecture, and checking for drift.

  • Models built to generate text are still bad at writing it, and continuing someone else’s fiction shows why.

  • Predictable habits, a plan the model keeps up to date, and prompts that keep getting shorter.
