I’m Jonathan Prozzi, an applied AI engineer and cognitive tool builder.

My work focuses on the intersection of human cognition and AI systems, building tools that augment how we think, learn, collaborate, and create. I’m particularly interested in:

• Human-AI collaboration patterns and workflows
• Knowledge management and semantic layers
• AI orchestration and agent architectures
• Tools for thought and cognitive augmentation

Background

I’m a fullstack product engineer who’s worked across a range of domains. Over the last two years I’ve found my focus: applied AI engineering, building on my core engineering foundation. I work in what I’d call a “cyborg” style (and have evolved from “centaur”) emphasizing deep integration with AI (primarily Claude) where the collaboration is fluid rather than transactional. Less task delegation, more thinking together. The framing comes from Ethan Mollick’s Centaurs and Cyborgs on the Jagged Frontier, which shaped how I think about human-AI collaboration.

I spent several years in EdTech building products for educators and learners. That work shaped my interest in tools that expand access and capability.

I then focused on governance and DAO tooling where I discovered a passion for thinking about collaboration, coordination, and connection. I was able to work at the intersection of AI/agent architectures, coordination, and protocol work. I’m thankful for what I learned about coordination, incentive design, and the importance of building in the open.

The throughline across all of this: tools that expand what’s possible for the people using them.

This is my digital garden — a place to share ideas at various stages of development. Some things here are polished, others are seeds. That’s intentional. Currently, my garden is heavily curated. I have a massive Obsidian vault of seeds that span a variety of topics, and I have the goal of expanding the scope of my published site to include more of my seeds over time.
