Engineer + Filmmaker + Dancer building AI tools that amplify human creativity instead of replacing it. Taste first, AI last.

I build interfaces where a person and a frontier model make something neither could alone — real-time narrative tools, generative editing pipelines, instruments over interfaces.
- afteragi-generative-video — Plans a music video's cuts before the shoot, budgets the footage you actually need to capture, and exports a Premiere-ready timeline. Moves the expensive edit decisions into pre-production.
- Strings — Real-time AI scriptwriting tool for tailored, interactive character dialogue, with a fine-grain mode for emotional state and relationship dynamics. → live demo
- Cadine — Real-time GPU fluid simulation running in the browser (WebGL / gpu-io).

Currently finishing my MIT Media Lab thesis (Summer 2026) and looking for Design Engineer / Product roles at the AI × creativity frontier. 📫 treyden3@gmail.com
