Applied work

Maieutic — programming education for the LLM era

April 2026

Work in progress

A Socratic-style platform that flips the usual role of AI in coding class: it asks guiding questions instead of handing out code, keeping the thinking with the student.

Students follow a three-phase workflow: write a detailed specification before writing any code, then code in an editor with autocomplete disabled while the AI offers counter-questions rather than answers, and finally submit so the system can compare the spec they wrote with what their code actually does. For instructors, Maieutic provides live class dashboards with per-student reasoning summaries and cohort-level narratives that surface where the class is collectively getting stuck. Maieutic placed 3rd at Anthropic's global Built with Opus 4.7 Hackathon (April 2026).

Just for fun

Circles of Hell — Minos judges your sins

May 2026

A whimsical app where you confess a sin in natural language and Minos, the infernal judge of Dante's Inferno, assigns you a circle and a poetic contrapasso.

Built as a small literary experiment with the Vercel AI SDK and Claude Sonnet 4.6. The model is prompted to stay in character as Minos and return structured output — circle (with sub-level for fraud or treachery), a short classification of the sin, a literary verdict, and a Dantean punishment — in both Spanish and English from a single call. Prompt-injection attempts are absorbed into the bit: trying to override the system prompt gets judged as pride or fraud.
