Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Generalist. Long timelines. 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 stepped back from running a business so I could return to building, writing, and research on my own terms.

I'm a generalist by temperament. I've spent real time on math, physics, AI research, software, woodworking, furniture design, illustration, drafting, music, audio engineering, video, editing, archiving, and restoration. I switch between them as interest pulls me. I work on long timelines, often without any obligation to ship, which means a lot of the work never left my desk. This site is a correction to that habit. I stopped publishing in my early twenties; I'm starting again.

I'm not trying to build another company. I release everything under MIT, care more about solving problems than owning them, and 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 public.

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.
