        Right now I'm building <a href="https://wanderfugl.com">Wanderfugl</a>, an AI agent that helps people discover ways of exploring the world they didn't know were possible.
      </p>
      <p>
        Before this, I spent five years at Microsoft building systems that shipped to over a billion devices.

        <p>
          Building an AI agent framework and UX for maps — agents that can reason about geography and human intent at the same time.
          Custom geocoders, low-latency tool chaining for real-time exploration, and systems that blend structured data with narrative context.
        </p>
        <p>
          The challenge is making agents fast enough to feel conversational while understanding not just where places are, but why they matter to you.

          Invented a new compression method that made Windows 11 updates 40% smaller and shipped to over a billion devices.
          Featured in the Windows 11 keynote, reached <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29022615" target="_blank">#1 on Hacker News</a>, and covered by <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-heres-why-we-shrunk-windows-11-update-sizes-by-40/" target="_blank">ZDNet</a>.
