Field Notes
Personal builds and notes from the day job, usually chasing a question I couldn’t let go of.
Poly Studio runs on 8M+ devices, and it’s also my sandbox for what’s next in hybrid work. Shipping this year: a fully responsive app, WCAG 2.1 AA end to end, and the groundwork that makes it agentic-ready.
A climbing tracker for Apple Watch and iPhone that I built for myself. It keeps the failed attempts most apps throw away, shows how it detects each climb, and never tries to coach you.
Ambient awareness for the physical world, like Dark Sky but for experiences worth leaving the house for. The trick is computing the AI once per region instead of once per visitor.
An AI trading agent for Kalshi’s prediction markets. Five weeks of building, and an honest post-mortem on what worked, what broke, and why I shelved it before risking real money.
