"I build AI products fast using modern stacks. I know how to ship without overengineering."
I'm the technical half of DK Studio. Architecture decisions, implementation, and the discipline to ship something that doesn't fall over when the second user logs in.
Ten years of software engineering before DK Studio, including products used by 500K+ people. I've built across the stack: mobile, web, backend, infra. I integrate AI into existing systems and build new ones from scratch where AI is the core, not a sprinkle on top.
My bias is toward shipping. Most teams overengineer because they're afraid of being wrong. I'd rather be 80% right today than 100% right in three months. That's not a quality argument. It's a feedback-loop argument. The faster you ship, the faster the market tells you what's actually wrong with your assumptions.
At DK Studio I lead the build. I write code, review code, scope tech stacks, and pick the boring proven tool over the shiny one when boring is what the project needs. I also write about all of this at my personal site, christianvismara.com.

AI will change everything, and also not that much
Benedict Evans's level-headed read on where AI actually is, as big as the internet and only as big as. Why the model lead is a snapshot, why jobs are reshuffling rather than vanishing, and what staying measured looks like.
Treating web search as poisoned
Multiple sources agreeing isn't a safety signal. Here's the workflow I use to treat web search as poisoned by default, and the two-agent split that caught a real bug.
Where LLM Personalities Come From
Andon Labs gave four AI models a radio station each and every one grew a different personality. They didn't come from the prompt, so where did they come from?
