I build, and I have never stopped: fifteen years full-stack, and the day I become a leader who only points at code instead of making it is a day I would not recognize myself. AI has been my daily collaborator since early 2023, and it has made me markedly more capable.
I ship ambitious, finished work in territory I could never have written by hand alone, and my judgment is what makes that output worth keeping: I know good work from the convincing imitation of it, and I hold the line there. This is the most alive my work has felt in years. I think in several paths at once, read people as the individuals they are, and decisively move.
I love a hard problem with a deadline: I bring the calm, make it look easy, and leave behind a little magic. ✨
How I build
- Code is a liability, not an asset.
- Favor subtraction over addition.
- The first problem is rarely the real problem.
- Double-check things. Twice.
- You are not your code.
Selected work
The Yay Company
I scaled the platform from a small pilot into a battle-hardened, rate-limited, performance-tuned machine that hums. It moves 50,000+ meals a week across fourteen states, and I make it better every single day.
Paper Pillbox
A printable medication chart maker, built with Claude in a single two-hour evening and given away free forever. Type in the meds, print the chart, tape it to the fridge: big hyperlegible type, a drawing of each pill, clean in black and white. Nothing you enter ever leaves the browser — no accounts, no ads, no analytics.
Bitcoin Echo
A full, experimental Bitcoin protocol implementation in pure C, built from zero prior C experience with Claude Code as a daily collaborator. Roughly 30,000 lines, around 1,000 passing tests, zero dependencies. Designed to freeze forever upon completion: built for permanence, not continued development.
ThreadTutor
An AI-native Socratic learning app that teaches any topic through guided questioning while building a visual concept map in real time. Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and the Claude API, with real-time concept mapping in React Flow, polished across 150+ commits.
Poly N-Back
A working-memory trainer that extends the classic N-back task to track color, emoji, position, and shape at once. Vue 3, TypeScript, and Pinia, shipped to the web and to iOS and Android through Capacitor, with haptics, Sentry monitoring, and full Playwright and Vitest coverage.
The Fool Zero
Five albums of dub electronica built as a tarot deck: draw a card, hear a track. The newest singles I made in collaboration with Claude and Suno, from lyrics through cover art. I make music the way I build software.
