AI agents for aviation ops
About
Orchestrating AI agents for aviation ops — dispatch, pilots, ATC. Same coordination problem, life-or-death stakes.
Before this: open source tools used by thousands of developers, ML research at ICLR, production systems at Apple. The connecting thread is critical systems running on software that doesn't respect the people who depend on it.

Questions
Things I think about. Not rhetorical — I genuinely don't know the answers. If you do, I'd like to hear from you.
Why do the most regulated industries have the worst software?
+What happens when AI is good enough for safety-critical systems?
+Why do the best developer tools start as side projects?
+Is there a ceiling on how much taste scales?
+Why is there no great software for understanding airspace?
+What would a Dieter Rams approach to software look like?

4 Projects
LiveTerm
Weekend experiment → 5,400 stars. Turns out developers want portfolio sites that respect the terminal.
LetsMarkdown
Collaborative editors were too heavy or didn't sync well. Rust WebSocket backend — fast enough that latency disappears.
Bionify
Typography affects reading speed more than people think. Bold the first half of each word, let the brain fill in the rest.
Macoustic
Phone motion → sound → visible waveforms. Accelerometer-based instruments with cymatics visualization.

Building
AI agents for dispatch, pilots, and ATC at GeoSpatios. Seed-funded, working with commercial aviation operators.
Thinking About
- — Unsolved primitives in geospatial AI — the tooling is shockingly bad
- — How AI-assisted development changes what one person can ship
- — Creative coding at the intersection of data viz and spatial data
Reading
- — Chenglou's Pretext — from 0 to 26K stars in 4 days
- — WebGPU and browser-native spatial rendering
- — How the best builders earn trust through shipped work
Want to Talk About
