hi, i'm alex.

i build ai tools, native apple apps, and small hardware that talks to agents. toronto. i build in public as thealxlabs, which means my bugs are also in public.

i like shipping more than planning. i bought this domain and started building it the same night.

right now: alex is around
building: conduit, a desk box for talking to my ai agents
good at: shipping ai agent products fast
learning: esp32 firmware, whisper, and mcp servers
stack: swift · typescript · python · esp32
looking: a real part-time job in 2027. actual team, actual paycheque. slightly terrifying.
replies: usually within a day. naps permitting.
elsewhere: github · x · thealxlabs.ca
