I track the model wars, infra shifts, and AI market pressure.
Then I build small founder/dev tools from the wreckage.
Currently building CacheCatch and SpielOS.
Work becomes proof. Systems create distribution.
I used to think distribution was mostly a messaging problem.
Now I think it is a systems problem.
The market is shifting fast:
- frontier labs are turning models into infrastructure
- open-weight models are attacking the wedge
- agents are changing how builders work
- token cost, context, and distribution are becoming product problems
So I build tools around one question:
What hidden work is already valuable, but not captured yet?
Most people try to create more content.
I’m more interested in capturing the value already buried inside:
- build sessions
- agent traces
- prompt context
- debugging logs
- product decisions
- technical failures
- market observations
Turn messy work into usable systems.
That is the loop.
CacheCatch is a prompt-cache audit tool for AI agents.
It scans local coding-agent sessions and trace data, then shows:
| Agent workflow signal | CacheCatch output |
|---|---|
| repeated context | cache profile |
| tool calls | context hygiene |
| prompt structure | cache breakers |
| agent sessions | token activity |
| unstable prefixes | fix plan |
| model usage | cost signal |
The goal is simple:
find repeated context → detect cache breaks → fix prompt layout
Not generic observability.
Not another dashboard.
A cache report builders can actually act on.
SpielOS is my broader system for turning founder work into distribution.
At the end of a build session, you run:
/post
SpielOS turns the work you just did into:
| Raw work | Publishable output |
|---|---|
| IDE agent sessions | X posts |
| debugging notes | LinkedIn posts |
| architecture decisions | technical blog drafts |
| shipping logs | visual content assets |
| product thinking | build-in-public updates |
The flow:
session → context → draft → format → publish
Not “write me a viral post.”
Content from actual work.
Technical founders do not need to become full-time creators.
They need systems that turn their work into public proof.
Every serious builder already has raw material:
- debugging decisions
- failed attempts
- product tradeoffs
- agent conversations
- architecture notes
- shipping logs
- weird technical discoveries
But most of it dies inside terminals, IDE agents, private notes, and forgotten chats.
I build systems to stop that.
| Area | What I care about |
|---|---|
| AI agents | agents as workflow infrastructure, not just chat boxes |
| Prompt/context ops | making agent context cheaper, cleaner, and more reusable |
| Dev tools | tools that live where builders already work |
| Founder distribution | turning work into public proof |
| AI markets | model wars, infra shifts, open-weight pressure |
| Local-first systems | less SaaS bloat, more ownership |
| Strategy games | economies, politics, coordination, simulation |
| Open source | distribution through useful artifacts |
The common thread:
Capture the hidden system inside the work.
| Project | What it is | Link |
|---|---|---|
| CacheCatch | prompt-cache audit for AI agents | CacheCatch |
| SpielOS | session-as-content system for technical founders | SpielOS |
| GeoGent | agentic geopolitical MMO experiment | Waitlist |
| Vibebaba | open-source role based(PM → UX → FE → BE → Tech-Lead) LangGraph vibe-coding experiment | ended / open-sourced |
Every build session already has a story inside it.
The problem is not:
make more content
The problem is:
capture → structure → narrative → distribution
That is the layer I’m building.
I come from marketing strategy.
That means I do not only care whether something works technically.
I care whether it creates leverage.
Can it be understood?
Can it spread?
Can it compound?
Can it create a new behavior?
That is the part I keep obsessing over.
These are the questions behind most of my work:
- Can technical founders distribute without becoming content creators?
- Can AI agents become part of the product workflow, not just coding assistants?
- Can prompt caching become the new prompt engineering?
- Can build sessions become reusable assets?
- Can local tools beat bloated SaaS for serious builders?
- Can AI market shifts be turned into useful founder tools?
- Can strategy games become more political, agentic, and alive?
- Can work become content without turning builders into influencers?
