Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Generalist. Long timelines. Finally publishing again.

I'm Maxwell. I'm forty, I live in Greenpoint with my family, and for the last decade-plus I ran a small furniture company. A couple of years ago I deliberately stepped back from running a business so I could get back to what I actually wanted to be doing: building, writing, and research on my own terms.

I'm a generalist by temperament. I've spent serious time on math, physics, AI research, software, woodworking, furniture design, illustration, drafting, music, audio engineering, video, editing, archiving, and restoration, and I switch between them as interest pulls me. I work on long timelines with no obligation to ship, which means most of what I've made has never left my desk. That's what this site is for. I stopped publishing in my early twenties and I'm finally starting again.

I'm not trying to build another company. I release everything under MIT, I care more about solving problems than owning them, and I work best with a lot of independence. If there is a good fit for support or collaboration, I'm open to talking. Otherwise this site exists to put the work in the world.

For fun, I also keep a few speculative math and systems problems in the background. They are slow, probably impractical, and useful for keeping my thinking honest.
