# Scott Meyer · AetherWing

> Scott Meyer is a software engineer in Dallas. He builds infrastructure for AI coding agents, chiefly ostk, a local-first operating system for agents, plus tools for agent workflows and a few things for the physical world.

https://aetherwing.io/ has an interactive constellation and standalone project notes at https://aetherwing.io/projects/. Source code lives in the os-tack and aetherwing-io GitHub organizations. The ostk project has its own site and documentation at https://ostk.ai.

The work is grouped into these sections:

- Agent OS: ostk is a local-first operating system for AI coding agents: invisible coordination, conflicts resolved at write time, and a signed audit trail. The stars around it are the memory and cache layers it runs on.
- Tooling: MCP servers, a shell, a benchmark, and a config compiler. Small tools that make an agent’s next turn more productive than its last.
- Civic: Networks that need no towers, discourse that needs no accounts, and objects that can prove what they are.
- Play: Things built to see what happens: an instrument you type into, a run-and-gun in the browser, and a language model iterated as a cellular automaton.
