My name is Harper Reed. I am a hacker type person who builds a lot of software that, hopefully, does interesting things.

I take a lot of photos, do silly pranks with my brother (@dylanreed) and hang out with my wonderful partner in Chicago.

Currently just playing around.

Please reach out and say hi.

• This company is started.
• We have raised some money from amazing people.
• I am excited to be building things again.
• Thinking a lot about what I want 2389 Research to turn into.
• I can’t wait to show you what we are building.

• I am still feeling a deep sense of uncertainty.
• AI is coming for us faster than we thought.
• I don’t think people my age who are being laid off now are going to be able to find jobs equivalent to what they had before.
• The state of the US is very concerning at the moment.
