Introducing AutoScientist.

Most model training fails outside of frontier labs.

AutoScientist automates the full research loop so it doesn't have to.

I'm quite excited to be joining adaption at an exciting time!!

Inspired by the team's work to bring frontier model training to everyone, with intentionality and speed.

Excited to announce I am no longer unemployed!

Last June, I quit my job, emptied my apartment in San Francisco, and drove eight hours south to the suburbs of San Diego, where I moved into my friend Albert’s apartment.

For nine months, we lived on Tasty Bite Madras lentils and Shin ramen, working 10/10/7 from two desks in the living room, building an all-new clinical trial system-of-record from the ground up.

@runharbor is now providing electronic data capture for five different studies, ranging from internal feasibility to multisite and multinational — saving our customers weeks of database build time and hours of manual transcription effort.

Excited to finally launch publicly as part of @ycombinator's Spring 2026 batch — and if you’re a sponsor wondering why your clinical trial is taking so long, talk to us.

Some fun BTS from the @gumloop Series B vid! Highlight was getting @MaxBrodeurUrbas on FaceTime to a remote monitor while he was on Coit as we pointed a 300-1200mm zoom lens from 1982 at him. Longest lens available in the Bay Area - and still wasn’t long enough😵‍💫

i can't imagine what incredible kanban boards they envisioned

Now is the time to go read a bunch of old computing literature and use your subsidized tokens to build all the crazy ideas they had before we got distracted by shareholder value

Writing has always been my tool for interpreting myself.

Usually the output is similar to a self help book. This time I wrote a short story about my childhood and it was a blast.
