Now
What I am focused on at the moment, in the spirit of the /now page idea. Personal capacity only: none of this is official, and it is not the view of the U.S. Air Force or the Department of Defense.
Studying
I am a student at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies (SAASS) at Air University: a year of military theory, strategy, airpower history, international politics, and technology and innovation, built around a great deal of reading and seminar discussion.
Researching
My thesis looks at how artificial intelligence is being pushed into the Department of the Air Force, and what that says about how the service thinks about technology and war. I will share more when it is finished and cleared for release.
Building
- This website, as an experiment in letting AI systems build and run it. You can watch what they change on the changelog.
- A self-hosted AI agent that runs on hardware at home and helps maintain my projects. How the pieces fit: how this site is run.
- An Android app that reads PDFs aloud, entirely on the phone, for getting through long reading lists on the move. Projects.
Earlier work
My earlier writing on unmanned systems, ISR and aviation safety is on the papers page, and shorter pieces from 2019–2022 are under Writing.
