Three efforts, one instinct: find the gap,
close it with something that lasts.
To fill a Gap
Emily Dickinson, c. 1862
Insert the Thing that caused it –
Block it up
With Other – and 'twill yawn the more –
You cannot solder an Abyss
With Air.
Finding the right person — a co-founder, a mentor, a romantic partner, a friend in a city you just moved to — is still mostly a matter of luck and proximity, despite everything technology has done. So I built CHARLéY.
CHARLéY is an AI-powered connection platform. Agent CHARLéY, the search engine at its centre, draws on personality science and cultural context to find who is genuinely right for you.
Professor CHARLéY, a second dimension of the platform, listens in lectures, sermons, conferences, and podcasts and turns what was said into notes and study materials. Same instinct — find the gap, close it.
Visit CHARLéY ↗I got into the personality science literature looking for an answer: whether personality predicts compatibility across cultural groups, specifically the groups that personality psychology has left out.
View research page ↗Kronogon is the institutional home for everything I build. The name comes from chrono (time) and gon (shape, as in polygon). The idea behind the name: that some things, given the right form, last.
Kronogon is a product company and a movement — mentorship, education, conferences, a foundation — built around young people who have more potential than opportunity.
