I build agentic AI for founders who need clarity — and research how GenAI represents the people it claims to serve.

Products I run

Five in production. Each one exists because something annoyed me enough to build the fix.

No. 01live

Inkwell

Private writing companion — AI crafts prompts; you write the answers.

Why

Most “AI journals” write for you. That kills the point of a journal. I wanted a tool that only nudges — prompts shaped to your themes — while the words stay unmistakably yours.

What shipped

Theme-based prompt generation, private accounts, timed and spontaneous nudges. The model never authors the entry.

No. 02live

Council of LLMs

Multiple models deliberate, judge, and consolidate hard questions.

Why

One model on a hard question is a single overconfident voice. I wanted deliberation as a product — propose, judge, consolidate — so disagreement becomes signal instead of noise.

What shipped

Multi-provider completion, judging rounds, and a consolidation step into one answer you can actually inspect.

Prompt Lab

Experiment with prompts, compare models, iterate in one place.

Why

Prompt work usually lives in chat tabs and half-broken scripts. Tiny wording changes matter, and comparing models side-by-side shouldn’t require a new ritual every time.

What shipped

Edit prompts and params, run across models, compare outputs in one loop so iteration stays visible.

Persona Paper Reviewer

Review research through persona-aware lenses for HCI and GenAI work.

Why

HCI and persona papers need reviewers who understand representation risk — not generic “be nicer” feedback. I built PPR to stress manuscripts the way our research actually critiques them.

What shipped

Agentic PDF review, revision validation against prior comments, grep-grounded style checks without a page cap.

PEP

Playground for modeling persona ecosystems — minority views to whole populations.

Why

Personas from scattered research are slow, inconsistent, and easy to stereotype. PEP exists to turn unstructured context into structured persona ecosystems you can probe — including minority views.

What shipped

Ingest research/transcripts, retrieve with vectors, generate and expand persona sets grounded in your own material.

Collaborators

“Danial possesses very sharp technical knowledge in AI/ML and backend technologies. What sets him apart is his readiness to take on any challenge, his curiosity, and a calm approach that lets him understand a project's full context before proposing the right solution.”

Elias Merhy
Head of Computational Design, Samsung Design Innovation Center

“Danial's real strength was turning abstract ideas into working systems fast. I could throw anything at him and trust he'd deliver — not perfection, but 80–90% solutions fast enough to keep us moving.”

Ricardo Lamego
Product Design Lead, i13 Ventures Studio

“His breadth is remarkable — machine learning, production engineering, computational design. He can design high-level solutions and fix nitty-gritty details. Any employer would be lucky to have him.”

Maggie Chao
Creative Technologist, Samsung Design Innovation Center

Build something clear

Founders, labs, and peers — if the problem needs agentic systems, fairer user representations, or a technical partner who argues with the brief before writing code, write to me.
