About me
I’m building Chadwin, a superintelligent stock analyst.
I’m an avid reader, with wide-ranging interests in technology, finance, philosophy, history, and science.
I grew up in a small town in central Massachusetts where I fell in love with building things on the internet. Over my career, I’ve worked as a designer, developer, product manager, executive and founder. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
Side projects
- Feedforward
AI blog aggregator
After spending a lot of time reading the personal blogs of AI researchers, I built a small tool to aggregate the latest posts from those that publish an RSS feed.
- Beautiful Web Type
Curated open-source web fonts
Launched when the Google Fonts project was still in its infancy, this was my first successful side project, getting me an email of appreciation from one of the most well-known type designers in the world.
- Tecmo Geek
Ultimate guide to Tecmo Super Bowl
After loving the game as a kid, I discovered there is still an obsesssed fanbase for the original Tecmo Super Bowl. I worked with a publisher to turn it into a book, but Tecmo killed the project. Of all my projects, this one gets me the most fan mail.
- QVOTR
Kindle Highlight for the web
Site that enabled users to highlight and save text on any webpage. Built with a friend. After a great reception on Product Hunt, we ran it for a while before selling for a modest exit.
- Mnfst.io
Cryptographic proof of authorship
Site that enabled users to post public messages signed with their PGP key. Built with a friend. Part of a series of experiments around distributed communication tools.
- HackerEngine
An attempt to launch an app in 24 hours
A friend and I challenged ourselves to build and launch an app in 24 hours. We started on Sunday morning, posted to Hacker News that night and made our first sale before the day was done.
- Instalover
Instant blind dating via SMS
Built over a weekend with three co-workers for the 2010 Rails Rumble competition. The app enabled users to request a blind date via SMS. We won the award for best use of real-time communication.
