What I'm doing now
A living document of current projects, focus areas, and open questions. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page.
Actively building
HatchClaw
Multi-agent system for building software
Testing what happens when AI agents don't just assist, but execute entire product workflows. Currently in Foundation Stage: agent coordination architecture. The hardest part isn't individual capability—it's orchestrating multiple agents without chaos.
Cortex22
AI implementation for company workflows
Building an implementation studio for companies that want AI embedded into real work: documents, decisions, approvals, handoffs, and messy operational workflows.
Read Cortex22 ThinkingConcierge of AI
Managed AI concierge service for high-performers
We deploy, run, optimize, and evolve your personal AI operations layer. Built on top of HatchClaw. High-performers don't want to manage AI tools—they want results. The hard part is defining clear outcome metrics and building systems that reliably deliver them.
What I'm learning
Advanced prompt engineering for multi-step product workflows
Moving beyond single-shot prompts to orchestrated agent chains
How to evaluate "agentic" output when traditional quality metrics don't apply
Non-deterministic systems need new evaluation frameworks
What "strategy" means when implementation becomes instant
The PM role shifts from executor to architect
The psychology of human-AI collaboration
When do people trust AI decisions vs. override them?
What's changing
Shift in focus
Moving from single-agent tools to multi-agent orchestration. The hard problems aren't at the individual task level—they're at the system level.
New hypothesis
The PM role doesn't disappear in an agentic world—it shifts upstream. Less writing specs, more designing systems. Less managing backlogs, more defining success criteria that agents can execute against.
Content evolution
Cortex22 Thinking is where the more practical AI implementation writing now lives: less speculation, more operating leverage, messy workflows, and what actually changes inside companies.
Open to opportunities
