Problem-First, Always
Every tool starts with friction I hit in production. Context rot on 90 Day scripts became Composer. Revenge trades bleeding my account became DeepStack's emotion detection. Problems are never abstract—they're personally painful.
Claude as Creative Partner
AI isn't a chatbot—it's a thinking partner with functional memory. I build context systems (knowledge bases, story bibles, thesis tracking) so conversations compound. Every session picks up where the last ended.
Build to Learn
Don't wait until you understand—build something, watch it break, build it better. Composer started simple. Now it has canvas, sandbox, persistent story memory. The first version teaches what the real version needs.
Multidisciplinary Translation
Mycology teaches networks. Trading teaches emotional systems. Filmmaking teaches narrative structure. Pattern recognition is pulling insight from one field into another. DeepStack's "process integrity" came from production workflows, not finance.
Working in Public
The lab isn't hidden. Ship before it's polished, iterate on real feedback. The discomfort of public imperfection is offset by the acceleration of real-world validation.
"Products get personality.
The lab stays focused."

Pattern Recognition Specialist
Complex Systems Thinker
Started as a cameraman on First 48, Orange County Choppers, 90 Day Fiancé. Worked from hands-on production into systems architecture and product development.
Multidisciplinary: filmmaking, AI, mycology, biology, finance, music, writing, complex systems. Pattern recognition is the superpower.
ID8Labs is where I work through problems in public and ship solutions.
