Craftsmanship
Making things with hands and tools. Joinery, laser work, and the kind of furniture you hope outlives you.
Doug Whitby
Builder, operator, and
student of what's next.
A small map of what I spend my time on: craftsmanship, AI, the companies I'm building, and a handful of long-running obsessions outside the office.
Featured — Workshop
The Whitby Handcrafted Collection.
A small, slow-built line of one-of-a-kind pieces from the shop — hardwood joinery, precise laser work, and furniture built to be handed down.

What I'm into.
Eight threads that run through most of my weeks.
AI research & application
Watching the frontier and building with it. Most interested in the boring, practical wins hiding inside new capabilities.
Entrepreneurship
Starting things, shipping things, and the long middle stretch that turns an idea into a company people can rely on.
Politics
Staying engaged with the ideas and arguments that shape how we live together — local, national, and everything between.
Science fiction
The genre that stress-tests the future. Equal parts escape and a useful lens on the technologies we're building today.
E-mountain biking
Dirt, elevation, and a little electric assist to earn the second summit. The best meetings happen on a trail.
Travel
New geography, unfamiliar streets, and meals that change your mind about a place. Preferably with the family in tow.
Christianity
A life oriented by faith. Reading, worship, and the slower work of trying to live it out in practice.
A few lines about me.
I work in technology and spend my spare hours on side projects, books, and long walks. I made this page as a small, slow home on the internet — a place to link the things I'm proud of and the things I'm still figuring out.
If anything here resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
