§ About · the longer version

I build intelligent tools that make people feel more capable.

Two decades of professional work, a master's in AI, and a company named after a contradiction.

Twenty years of professional work taught me what to build. I spent them watching smart people try to fit themselves into tools that didn't fit back. AI showed me I could finally build the ones that do.

Where the work meets the real world

Today, I'm VP and Director of AI & Process Innovation at Mechanics Bank. It's the part of my work where the constraints are real: regulation, security, legacy systems, risk, and people whose jobs cannot be reduced to a demo. That experience shapes everything I build on my own—and the things I build on my own make me better at the work.

"I think in spirals, not straight lines. Most productivity apps were built for brains that work like filing cabinets. Mine doesn't work like that."

Why clarineffable

The name comes from clarity + ineffable — making the indescribable clear. That's the whole mission. Take the complex, the overwhelming, the things that feel impossible to manage, and build tools that make them navigable.

Vibe coding, honestly

I practice vibe coding — riffing with language models until something real emerges. It's like jazz, but with code. I spend 10-12 hours a day inside AI models, not theorizing about them. I have a master's in AI, but I'd rather show you what I built this week than lecture you about transformer architecture.

What I believe

Intelligent tools should make people feel more capable. Start with the real problem, not the trend. Be honest about uncertainty. Refuse either/or — it's almost never binary. And give freely: teach, share what you learn, build in public.
