I studied Clinical Psychology at The New School for Social Research and worked for 4 years in a clinical capacity before pivoting to tech. That background shapes how I build — understanding behavior, not just interfaces.
Outside work: weightlifting, tennis, electronic music composition, cats.

Memory Visualization System
openclaw-memory-mapper
Your AI knows everything about you, but you know nothing about what it remembers. Memory Mapper (openclaw-memory-mapper) provides increased visibility into local AI memory systems -- debug faster, maintain memory hygiene, and understand how your AI stores and retrieves information. Initially designed as an offering for clawdbot/moltbot users.
One command opens an interactive dashboard showing memory architecture, file browser, and security controls. Read-only, local-only, zero telemetry.
Let's build something together.
Whether you need a website, design system, or technical guidance.
