Researcher · Writer · Builder of autonomous research systems
Builds and operates autonomous AI research systems in production, and applies the same evidence discipline to primary-source investigation — separating what is established from what is inferred from what someone wants to be true.
Original archival and records research into the Harvard psychiatrist's 1994–95 investigation and its funding. Established from IRS Business Master File records that the Laurance S. Rockefeller Fund now filing with the IRS received its exemption ruling in June 2006 — two years after Rockefeller's death and thirteen years after the grant it is universally assumed to have made. The foundation every researcher would naturally check therefore cannot be the source, and a diligent journalist checking it draws a false negative from authentic documents.
Traced the most-repeated figure in thirty years of writing on the subject — "$1M over four years" — to a source that says two.
Multi-source dossiers in which every claim carries an explicit class — fact, reported, inference, speculation, or missing-evidence — with source, date, quotation, and the specific observation that would disprove it. The standing rule, quoted from the working documents: every number carries a source; anything unsourced is written as missing-evidence.
Parallel multi-agent research runs against primary sources, producing sourced reports in roughly twenty-five minutes of wall-clock time.
Designed and ran the applicant research and scoring pipeline behind an attendee-selection console — multi-role score vectors, a dated event briefing, longitudinal founder-impact tracking. 13,619 of 13,733 records carry the deployed scorer's completion flag, against $1,861.47 of provider spend summed from the transaction log across nine services.
An earlier draft said "13,733 profiles at forty-plus tool calls each." Both halves were wrong — 13,733 is the record count, not the scored count, and the call quota was a design target whose own audit field appears nowhere in the 450 MB of output. Retraction, and how it was caught, on the verification record.
Founded the gaming-services marketplace; Y Combinator, Winter 2020. Company and YC profiles report cumulative lifetime scale of over $45M in sales and 250,000+ customers served. Raised a ~$1.7M seed in 2020 and a $6M Series A in 2021, both covered by TechCrunch. Now a board member.
Two production services running against a live marketplace — a buyer-facing conversational sales agent and a Slack-triggered content-engineering agent with deterministic safety guards — plus a governed multi-agent operating framework.
