Most of my time goes to Kit - automation, the public API, and the ecosystem creators and developers rely on. The rest goes into finding out where AI agents actually fit in real work: software, film, whatever’s next.
I keep circling back to how AI is becoming a permanent part of software development - how the tools evolve, and how teams change around them. What interests me most is turning that shift into better ways of working rather than more noise.
The current experiment is agent-first interfaces: designing the collaboration layer between a creator and an agent - a space where intent, context, and judgment flow freely enough that they shape the outcome together.
Current explorations
A few things I’m building right now - software and video as different ways into the same questions.
Shotpilot
An open-source pipeline from raw drone footage to a finished film - operated by an AI agent, with a plain CLI underneath.
Silent Striders
A YouTube channel documenting places from above.
Products I’ve worked on
Products and teams that shaped how I think about software.
Kit
The email-first operating system for creators. I work on the ecosystem - everything that helps creators and third-party developers build on Kit.
Mixlr
Live audio streaming for creators, serving millions of daily listeners. I was part of the small team keeping it fast and reliable at that scale.
Smart Pension
Retirement technology for the UK’s auto-enrolment pension system. It’s where I learned to build fintech - regulated, government-integrated, and unforgiving about correctness.
Stay in touch
Occasional notes on AI, developer experience, and building for creators. No fixed schedule and no single lane - I write when there's something worth sharing, work or life.
