Engineering human-AI collaboration at the intersection of complex systems and emerging technology
About Paul
Welcome to Wetware & Software! I'm Paul Philp, a software engineer, AI researcher, and founder exploring the profound intersection of human systems (wetware) and artificial intelligence (software). This blog serves as both a platform for sharing insights and a living portfolio of my work in human-AI collaboration.
My journey spans building scalable AI applications, developing conversational UIs, and architecting large language model systems for production. I'm particularly passionate about Effect-TS patterns, functional programming paradigms, and the philosophical implications of AI integration in human workflows.
Through this platform, I share structured explorations of complex topics via series content, practical articles on technical implementation, and reflective essays on the transformative potential of human-AI collaboration. My approach combines deep technical insight with accessible explanations and a seriously whimsical tone.
