Something broke.
The space between idea
and working software collapsed.

brief

I build in the wreckage. Agent-native fintech platform for U.S. healthcare at Machinify — five companies becoming one. $200B+ in flow, 160 million lives. Agents draft, humans judge, agents iterate, humans ship. That's the workflow.

Q2 / 2026 / Machinify
log

At Machinify — unifying five acquired healthcare payments companies into one AI-native platform. The work is designing systems where AI agents are first-class participants. Not prompted tools. Not hypothetical teammates. Agents that get assigned work, take action, flag problems, and learn from outcomes.

It's the most complex thing I've ever built. Also the most fun.

Thinking about: what happens to organizations when the PM-to-engineer ratio inverts. Writing about it in Field Notes. Building with it every weekday.

If you're
building too —

I'm always up for a conversation with other operators in the collapse. Advisory calls. Peer reviews of agent-native architectures. The occasional "is this crazy or is it the future" dinner.
