GREENHOUSE
Work with me
Three ways the work leaves the garden: events, consulting, and the founder stories I'm collecting.
Events & Hosting
Hosting, moderating, and curating AI events — panels, fireside chats, and founder dinners in the Valley.
Consulting
AI strategy, evals, and agent reliability. From 'what should we build' to 'how do we know it works.'

Founder Stories
A living archive of the people building AI — the decisions, the doubts, and the moments before it worked.

THE GARDENER
Hi, I'm Cloris
AI scientist, full-stack builder, and connector in the Silicon Valley AI ecosystem. I've spent years in data science and LLM/agent research, and I care most about one question: how do we know what's actually working?
I write about verification, reliability, and what stays human in the age of agents. This garden is where the signals I find get planted, watered, and occasionally bloom.
