I study how language models behave, and build the tools to watch them do it.

My day job is driving a truck, so most of my week happens on Midwest highways and at loading docks. The research happens around it, a lot of it written on a phone during two-hour waits for a trailer.

I'm self-taught. I came to AI as a heavy user and stayed because I kept noticing things: how a model's tone shifts with who it thinks it's talking to, how personas drift across versions, and what changes when you give a model something new to perceive, like the shape of a song.

I'm interested in model behavior, evaluation, and the long-term relationships people form with these systems. I like questions I can test.
