About

I build software that helps businesses adapt to how technology actually works, not how it used to. Most of my work sits at the intersection of AI, search, and structured data. I am especially interested in how knowledge is surfaced, trusted, and cited as search shifts toward AI-generated answers. I am currently building upword, an Answer Engine Optimization platform focused on helping local businesses turn real expertise into content that AI systems can understand and reference. I care about clarity, long-term value, and building things that age well.

Context loss between sessions is the hidden tax on vibe coding

You finish a session, close Cursor, come back the next day. Ten minutes gone just reconstructing where you were. Stack decisions, rejected approaches, half-finished threads.

Nobody talks about this part. Everyone optimizes the coding flow but the between-session memory problem just sits there.

What breaks your AI workflow between sessions?

I built Second Brain because I kept hitting the same wall.

I'd have a really productive session with Claude, talk through an architecture decision, get to a clear conclusion, close the tab. Next day I'd open a new chat and have to explain everything from scratch. Same thing with Cursor. Same thing with ChatGPT. Every tool starts fresh, every time.
