About us

We are Elliot and Annie. We moved to Portugal in the fall of 2023, sight unseen, to explore more of the world, enjoy more of what life has to offer, and have our baby. Our daughter, Rozalie, was born in November 2025.

We are growing our business together, and we want to help people become AI-native, so they can adapt and take advantage of the incredible potential of this rapidly changing world.

Since 2023, nearly all of his work has been devoted to learning what the most capable AI systems can do, applying them to real work, teaching others, and keeping pace as those capabilities change. Before that, he was a software engineer, starting in 2016.

You get the benefit of that accumulated judgment and experience when you spend time with him.

A timeline from 2016 to now. From 2016 to 2023 the line is ink, labeled software engineer. From 2023 the line turns ember and glows, labeled nearly all of his work: learning what the most capable AI can do, applying it, teaching it, keeping pace.
