Format Architect & AI Pioneer
30+ years of file format fascination starting with the Commodore Amiga's .iff through 2/2.5D and into complex 3D industrial simulation formats. Creator of the FAF specification and the driving force behind making AI context management as reliable as image formats, albeit using YAML and 🍜noodles as the inventor calls it.
"AI needed a solid reliable format, a JPEG for AI, so to speak— So, we built it."
