Alex Grama
San Francisco, California
Designer, programmer, and researcher focused on building calm, thoughtful software.
I care deeply about tools that help people think better, work with clarity, and enjoy the craft of making things.
I'm currently creating interfaces for engineering teams, exploring how agents and AI fit into everyday workflows, and documenting what I learn along the way.
Currently
- Reading
- Long-form essays on systems thinking, note-making, and the habits that keep teams curious.
- Building
- Interfaces that let engineering groups reason about their work with agents instead of spreadsheets.
- Learning
- Improvising with small LLM tools to see where calm, dependable automations can live.
These days you can find me
- Sharing notes in short form →
Quick updates and half-formed ideas, usually when I've just shipped something new or learned something worth passing along.
- Documenting books and highlights →
What I'm reading now and the passages that stick with me long after I've closed the book.
- Collecting ideas across the internet →
My working notebook of references, research threads, and visual ideas I'm still thinking through.
- Building and shipping experiments →
Small open-source tools and prototypes I'm tinkering with, often with friends and collaborators.
Selected projects
- Better Computer Grants
Helping people make better computers by funding focused experiments.
- Space for builders
Hands-on prototyping and week-long sprints with fellow tinkerers.
- Interfaces for async teams
Making distributed collaboration feel effortless through thoughtful tools.
