Calm interfaces for messy systems.

I’m starksama. I care about making chaotic inputs usable: speech into text, protocol internals into lending context, external signals into agent workflows.

Now

Projects I keep returning to, and the shape they share.

Speech → usable text.

Verba: keep dictation close to the app where the thought belongs.

Protocol → usable context.

Monarch: make DeFi lending legible without forcing users through internals.

Signals → agent work.

Nanoclaw / Herald: connect external data to agents that leave inspectable output.

Writing

Notes will appear here when they are ready. Current questions are below.

Interface compression.

How much complexity can be removed before the product starts lying?

Agent receipts.

What should autonomous work leave behind so it can be inspected later?

Reading tools.

How should software reshape attention without pretending to understand for you?

Work

Public artifacts and experiments.

Weekend Cellular Life

A deployed toy about energy, memory, and robustness. Small, but public and inspectable.
