I'm a Senior Technical Account Manager at Interlaced, a managed IT and technology consulting firm, where I spend my days helping businesses navigate the infrastructure decisions that actually matter. I've watched AI go from a conversation topic to a boardroom mandate, and I've been obsessed with understanding the layer underneath: who's building what, who's acquiring whom, and what it all means for how companies will run in five years.

I'm also a stealth startup founder building an AI-native product, which means I'm not just a spectator. I live in the same technical and strategic decisions I write about. I know what it feels like to evaluate model providers, weigh infrastructure tradeoffs, and try to figure out which tools are genuinely changing the game versus which ones are just well-funded noise.

The Context Window exists because I couldn't find the newsletter I actually wanted to read. The serious AI coverage assumes you don't know what an LLM is. The technical coverage ignores the business and strategic layer. I wanted something written like a smart friend already in the room, one who's seen the pitch decks, understands the infrastructure, and isn't trying to sell you a course. No ads pretending to be opinions. No hedging. Just what I actually think is happening.
