Nathan Maxwell

Builder
I build software and run a gaming club.
What I'm working on, and why.

Problems

  1. P1.Data loss and cognitive overload when coaching multiple swimmers
  2. P2.AI agents don't carry context across sessions
  3. P3.Agents as assistants, not thinking partners

Missions

  1. M1.Build a context system that compounds with me, so my AI learns from every conversation
  2. M2.Use software and AI to multiply what I can do
  3. M3.Build software that lets coaches coach

Challenges

  1. C1.Balancing build time vs. distribution time
  2. C2.Signal vs. noise at scale in the inbox

An iPad app for swim coaches that captures times and surfaces per-swimmer trends.

    Europe Relocation Brainstorm V1 (2026)
    Captured from Telegram, 2026-07-02. Originated from dinner with [[people/connor]] at Chingaari (Buderim, Sunshine Coast QLD, 2026-07-01), where Connor mentioned his Europe trip. The conversation seeded an idea: a period of time living in central Europe, primarily for a more entrepreneurial environment + lower small-business tax. (Prior recall anchored this dinner to Belconnen/Canberra — corrected 2026-07-05; the actual venue is Chingaari Indian Restaurant on Burnett St, Buderim, SC.)
