Hey, I’m Chris

I write code non-professionally. Currently exploring robotics. Previously contracted at Apple on the AIML Data Ops team.

On the side, I run a small web development agency called 626 Software, servicing local businesses and small business owners.

Check out some of my projects.

Topics I'm currently interested in...

  • Digital → physical APIs
    • 3D printing, image-to-3D models
  • Civic tech, as well as tools/software for a local community
  • AI's economic effect, particular on labor market
    • What does the future of work look like? Will more young people start pursuing a small business entrepreneurship model?
  • Rewilding the web
  • Digital humanities
  • AI tools that turn engineers into designers
    • A lot of AI coding tools (eg all the vibe coding tools like Lovable and Bolt, even the folks at Cursor are talking this up more and more) are being partially positioned as helping designers build software: "as a designer, you can finally bring your ideas to life without needing to wait or ask an engineer". Can the reverse be true? Tools that help people with a primarily technical skillset create design materials like flyers, posters, business cards, etc?
  • Stochastic software
