About

Hey, I'm Jace.

I'm a Creative Technologist and AI engineer. I build things at the boundary between software, artificial intelligence, and the physical world.

My favorite projects start with technology that feels a little too new to know what to do with yet. I take research models, APIs, agents, hardware, and half-formed ideas, connect them together, and turn them into things people can actually interact with.

I've built systems that let materials scientists generate and simulate novel crystals, tools that give AI agents access to cutting-edge research models, interfaces that make AI systems easier to understand, and installations where someone's prompt becomes an image on a physical display or a postcard they can take home.

I've spent 9+ years building software, from full-stack web applications and developer infrastructure to medical devices and large-scale consumer products. These days, I'm particularly interested in what happens when AI stops being a chatbot in a browser and becomes part of a real environment.

I like the part of engineering where the requirements aren't completely written yet. Give me an unfamiliar model, an awkward API, a pile of hardware, or a ridiculous idea and I'll usually want to figure out how to make it work.

This site is where I document some of those experiments, projects, and ideas.

If you're working on something ambitious and need someone who can move between AI research, software engineering, prototyping, and the physical world without getting stuck in the gaps between them, that's probably my kind of project.
