What I'm doing now

A running snapshot of what I'm building, exploring, and reading — updated by hand, not scraped. Inspired by Derek Sivers' /now page.

Building now

  • DBWhisper evals — the natural-language-to-SQL agent is now measured on execution accuracy, not vibes: a golden-query harness (82% exact, 100% fail-closed) plus a scoped Spider dev run (73%, 101/139). Numbers and method live on Evals.
  • This site as a product — turning the portfolio into a running notebook: Notes, per-product changelogs, and the grounded "Ask Friday" assistant, all on the same $0 stack.
  • Keeping four products liveDBWhisper, TradePulse, CrownWager, and LLM Studio are deployed and maintained, not screenshots.

Exploring

  • Golden-query evals for text-to-SQL — execution accuracy, not vibes.
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP) for typed tool-use across agents.
  • Long-context vs. retrieval — when a bigger window still loses to a small, scoped prompt.
  • Agent memory beyond flat conversation summaries.

Reading

  • The Model Context Protocol specification — typed tool-use as a protocol, not per-agent glue.
  • Spider (Yu et al., 2018) — the cross-domain text-to-SQL benchmark I'm measuring DBWhisper against.
