Now

This is my now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. It’s a snapshot of what I’m focused on at this point in my life.

Current focus

I have two main focuses right now:

1. Provide for my family while spending as much time as possible with them
2. Build great AI developer tools and platforms that help developers do their best work

Personal

I’m having a great time with my wife, son, and dog in the Pacific Northwest. Spring is here and we’re spending most of our free time at parks, playgrounds, and out in nature. My son is really into music, construction vehicles, and baseball, and constantly blows me away with his memory and curiosity.

Creative work

I’m co-authoring a technical book called Agentic GraphRAG about building enterprise agentic AI systems using graph-based architectures. All chapters are written and we’re now in editing and technical review.

I’ve also been writing more regularly on this site. Recent articles include Why I’m Betting on Generative UI, From DevRel to Product, and Building an AI-Augmented Second Brain. I’m also sending more updates out via my newsletter, so be sure to sign up below.

Day job

I’m the Director of Product at CopilotKit, where we build the open-source infrastructure that connects AI agents to user-facing applications. My first order of business is mapping and building out the path from our open-source adoption to the enterprise product. CopilotKit authored the AG-UI protocol, which is now adopted by Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Oracle, so I get to work at the intersection of open standards, agent infrastructure, and enterprise software. It’s an intense, fast-paced job but incredibly interesting and engaging.

Learning

Here’s what I’m currently learning:

• Generative UI and the agentic interface layer: how humans review, approve, and redirect agent work through dynamically generated interfaces
• Graph-based agentic AI architectures through the AGR book: tool orchestration, evaluation frameworks, semantic backpropagation, and reinforcement learning techniques for agent self-improvement
• AI agent infrastructure: how agents interact with the real world through things like Model Context Protocol, headless browsers, and structured output engineering
• Building personal AI systems: I’ve been experimenting with AI-powered knowledge work pipelines and exploring how agents can augment creative and strategic work
• Being a good dad to a funny, creative, and rambunctious little boy
