I’m Aiden. I build systems
that grow with intelligence.

Software engineer at Alpha School, working across agentic systems, dynamic learning, and full-stack product development.

Based in Austin, Texas. Thinking beyond it.

Current mission

Accelerated learning
for a billion children.

At Alpha School, I’m building systems for dynamic content generation and rigorous evaluation—so learning programs improve as the models become more capable.

Children should advance when they’ve mastered the material, stay motivated by meaningful goals, and reclaim time for life skills and the things they love.

A working thesis

Verification sets the
ceiling on autonomy.

As models become more capable, the opportunity is to make consequential work verifiable: give intelligence somewhere to act, test, and improve.

I want to build products whose capabilities compound with advances in intelligence.

Verification sets the ceiling on autonomy

Why increasingly capable models need environments where consequential work can be tested, evaluated, and improved.
