From gravitational-wave simulations to production AI agents. I build things that decode complexity.

Things I've built

AI agents, astrophysics tools, hardware designs, and everything in between.

A bit about me

I'm Peter Orndoff. A physicist turned builder. I work at the intersection of science and engineering, applying first-principles thinking to everything from AI agent systems to gravitational wave research.

I believe the best tools come from deeply understanding the problem. Whether it's modeling memory decay for an AI or simulating dark matter distributions, the throughline is the same: decode complexity, then build something useful from it.
