Joshua Izzard
Concert pianist. Hedge fund manager. CEO. Developer.
Building the tools I wished existed.
The Developer Brain
Three tools that compose into a persistent memory system for AI coding agents. Each stands alone. Together they form the dev brain I wished existed.
Production work
Many of these internal tools are being abstracted into public-facing open source projects or products.
Coming soon
Wyoming → Moscow → Chicago → terminal.
Born in Wyoming. Studied piano performance at the Moscow State Conservatory, then quantitative finance and accounting at Chicago Booth. Fifteen years managing investment strategies — Bloomberg terminals, orange on black, six screens deep. Concert stages and trading floors demand the same thing: obsessive detail and pattern recognition inside complex structures.
Now CEO of Unagi Scooters and the Nashville International Chopin Piano Competition. Building developer tooling and AI systems — the infrastructure I wished existed when I started coding.
Interested in interpretable AI, persistent memory for LLMs, and whether machines can learn the way developers do — not from training data, but from experience.
