Why this is different
Most AI projects launch, then fade. I build alongside you, and design products people keep coming back to.
I help you build the idea your company shelved.

How we work together
Start with a quick win. Leverage the momentum. Compound the ROI. A Sprint grows into a Build, and settles into a retainer when it's working.
Two to four weeks, building real AI side by side with you and your team. We find your highest-leverage problem, build something that works (an MVP, a workflow automation, an internal tool, a live agent), and get whoever is stuck from zero to one. You own it and use it from day one.
I design and build an AI-native product or feature end to end, engineered with behavioral design so it forms habits, earns trust, and retains users. Working software, not a prototype that dies in a deck.
Keep me on monthly as your part-time AI product brain, steering strategy and shipping alongside your team as you become AI-native. The same role I play on Sworkit's board.

Why me
Every product I ship is a bet on behavior: what makes someone form a habit, trust a tool, and come back.
I personally build and deploy with agentic AI, fast: framing the problem, directing the agents, judging what's worth shipping.
I've been the engineer, the product lead, and the founder, so I build for the business outcome, not just the demo.
Built for myself first
Every morning I open one screen. I built it to pull all my businesses into a single brief: what moved overnight, what changed, what needs me today. One trusted view instead of a scramble across a dozen tabs.
Want one for your business? That's where a Build Sprint starts.
The proof, not the claim
I dogfooded the exact workflow I'd run for you: framing the problem, directing a set of agents, curating the inputs, and applying the judgment that decides what ships. The live neural field is real JS. The commit log is this page's own repo. The cost counter recomputes every deploy.
Under the hood What this site is actually made of.

Guess what this site cost Human time, credits, domain, hosting. One real number, recomputed every deploy.
Most of it is human judgment, not compute. Take a guess at the total so far:
Selected work
Co-founded a fitness app to 30M downloads and a Shark Tank deal. Now on the board, steering its AI era.
Read the case study
Architected a live auto-battler's combat engine and a data-driven balancing toolchain. 500+ PRs in ~7 months.
Read the case study
Owned a revenue product and built the tooling that let two people run it. ~$500K in its first few months.
Read the case study
A paid Mac app shipped from a standing start in 17 days: design, packaging, marketing site, checkout, a paying customer.

An AI coach that learns your voice and speaks back as you. Claude + Whisper + voice cloning in a real-time loop.
Read the case study
Gave a whole engineering team a shared operating system of AI skills: ~30 agentic workflows that automated data tedium and a combat-sim framework to balance a live game on data.

The short version: a builder who never stopped building. UVA computer science, a Wharton MBA, a fitness company co-founded and carried to 30M downloads and a Shark Tank deal, then live game systems at Proof of Play. Now an independent AI practice. Press play on the portrait and I will tell you myself. The page joins in.
I have built products through every layer of how they get made. The engineer writing the code, the product lead deciding what to build, the founder carrying the business. AI did not pull me out of building. It pulled me back in.
What ties it together is behavioral design. Every product I have shipped is a bet on what makes someone come back, form a habit, trust a tool. Sworkit was habit formation. The game systems were engagement and retention. Inner Voice is behavior change you can talk to. I bring that same lens to AI, because the hard part was never the model. It was designing the behavior around it.

Building an independent practice, and happy doing it. It would take something rare to pull me in-house: an AI-native team building something I can't stop thinking about. If that's you, say so.
