My name is Harper Reed. I am a hacker type person who builds a lot of software that, hopefully, does interesting things.

I take a lot of photos, do silly pranks with my brother (@dylanreed) and hang out with my wonderful partner in Chicago.

Currently just playing around.

Please reach out and say hi.

• This company has been going. We published some research. It is fun.

• I am excited to be building things again.
• I can’t wait to show you more what we are building.
• Spending a lot of time “vibe coding.” I code everything!
