Field notes / The longer view
My moonshots.
Technology that helps people become harder to overwhelm—and more able to act on what matters.
01 / Starting with weed.menu
What if good guidance could reach more people?
People often know what they want to feel, change, or accomplish before they know which product or service to choose. Expertise exists, but it can be hard to reach through complex systems, unfamiliar language, or a few overextended people.
I’m interested in building a clearer bridge between what someone means and a choice they can understand. A useful system should preserve context, explain its reasoning, and support the people with the judgment to help.
A particular place to start.
Cannabis retail brings that problem into focus. Customers arrive with preferences and uncertainty. Staff translate those conversations into recommendations. weed.menu is where I’m testing how technology can make that exchange more useful.
What exists today
An early working guided-discovery experience, shaped by informal demos and conversations with people in the industry. The next test is whether it improves decision confidence and time to a useful shortlist.
See the work so far ↗The wider ambition.
I see related questions in local services, learning, and other consumer choices where the stakes feel personal. Those are directions to explore as the first product earns its evidence.

What if you had a capable team in your corner?
A personal system that understands your goals, remembers what matters, works with your actual tools, and helps turn intention into action. That is an idea I could spend a decade on.
People with access to a great team already have assistants, operators, coaches, and specialists helping them manage complexity. I want to explore how more of that support could become accessible to an individual.
Trust is part of the work.
Useful memory should come with meaningful privacy. Autonomy needs clear limits. A helpful system should recognize when it needs to ask, and the person should remain in control of what it can do.
Those are design goals to test and earn. The technical capability is only one piece of the problem.
What exists today
A personal agent and knowledge prototype I use in my own life. One home experiment tested what happens when an unreliable temperature signal should pause an automation.
Walk through the experiment ↗The question underneath it.
How can technology help a person become more capable, more intentional, and more fully themselves? I want to build toward that answer with people who take both the possibility and the responsibility seriously.
Explore this idea with me ↗Some moonshots need collaborators.
There’s room
at the workbench.
I’d like to meet founders, domain experts, operators, and potential backers with the reach, depth, or resources to help test these ideas in the real world. Bring a question, a different perspective, or something you want to build.
