the 33rd prime is 137

Software, built
where everything
converges.

33prime is a software studio. Deep domain knowledge, AI, and engineering craft — three unrelated disciplines — collapse into one constant that decides whether a product actually holds together. We build the ones that do.

the backstory

One number runs the whole show.
Nobody can derive it.

The fine-structure constant, α, is the strength of the force that lets light touch matter. It is the reason atoms hold their shape and chemistry is possible at all. Its value is almost exactly 1 / 137 — and 137 is the 33rd prime number.

e

Electromagnetism — the charge

How strongly matter feels a field. The raw material of every interaction.

Quantum mechanics — the grain

The smallest unit of action. The rule that says reality comes in packets.

c

Relativity — the limit

The speed of causality itself. The ceiling nothing crosses.

Three constants from three unrelated theories converge — and out falls a single dimensionless number the universe is tuned to.
“It's one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man. You might say the hand of God wrote that number, and we don't know how He pushed His pencil.”  — Richard Feynman, on 137
what 33prime does

I don't sell hours. I solve the problem by building the software.

Most shops give you one of three things. 33prime is the convergence: the person who understands your domain, designs the system, and ships the AI that makes it sing — same hands, end to end.

01 · e — the charge

Domain-first product

Before a line of code, I learn how your world actually works — the edge cases, the money, the unglamorous 80%. The product fits the problem because it was shaped by it.

02 · ℏ — the grain

AI that earns its place

Agents, retrieval, extraction pipelines, evaluations, model-native UX. Not AI bolted on for the deck — AI where it changes the unit economics or the experience. Built and measured.

03 · c — the craft

Engineering that ships

Typed schemas, provenance, auth, the boring durable parts done right. Production from day one, on infrastructure you own. The difference between a demo and a thing people depend on.

Most consultants describe themselves.
Matt built an AI digital twin.

Meet my digital twin. It's grounded in a live map of how I actually work — every skill backed by shipped receipts, every idea traced to where it came from, the principles I refuse to break. Ask it what I can build. Watch the graph light up as it answers. It even knows when there's a fit — and connects you straight to me.

  • It shows its receipts — every claim cites a shipped node, live in the graph.
  • It knows its boundaries — ask it to cut corners and it'll tell you no.
  • It connects you to me — briefs me on your problem so you never repeat yourself.

AI intelligence layers, shipped — plus products live in the wild.

Each one turns messy real-world signal into decisions. Click any project for the full case study — and exactly how the same playbook would apply to your build.

Two products. One thesis: your intelligence, rendered.

The same engine behind every 33prime build, packaged to launch — for one person, and for a whole company.

MyIntelligence

Your own digital twin — a living intelligence graph of how you think and what you've shipped, that shows its receipts and can speak for you.

  • A substrate of your work — skills, ideas, stances — with provenance on every claim
  • A twin that reasons over it, refuses what's off-limits, and connects people to you
  • It compounds — every conversation and project makes it sharper

Meridian Intelligence

The org-scale version — an intelligence layer and automated business layer that turns every employee into an intelligence analyst.

  • Capture, enrich & reason over everything your company knows
  • Answers with sources, not guesses — institutional memory that compounds
  • A harness that automates the work your team grinds out by hand

Have a problem worth building software for?

Tell me the world it lives in and what's broken. If it's a fit, you get the whole stack — domain, AI, and engineering — from one set of hands. If it's not, I'll tell you that too.
