Founder & CEO @ Billy
I make languages, architectures, and various other random things.
Sleep is the most profound waste of time.
I start projects then don't finish them. I have been vibe coding since that term wasn't a thing yet. I have a lot of ideas and get consumed by too many to keep them all to myself. I was Chief of Staff (previously engineer) at RBT Network. I am now the Chief Executive at the Billy Company where I daydream for a living.
