I came up in operations, learning how real work gets done. Now I mostly make things and write about it. Apps, tools, essays, the occasional flop.
How my head is organized. Everything I have built, written, and believe, joined by typed edges. Click a dot. Drag one around. The dashed ones never shipped, and they stay on the map anyway.

shippedA pocket-sized field journal where every creature you find gets a name.
A native iOS app I built end to end as a non-coder: I defined the product, drew the pixel art, and directed Claude Code through the Swift build, the iNaturalist computer vision, and the location and weather data. No ads, no subscriptions, no data collection.

growingA second brain built for an AI to read.
My knowledge system. It breaks what I learn into small typed nodes joined by typed edges, and every node carries its source and a verification status. An AI can traverse it and answer with citations instead of vibes. The Map on this site is its public cousin.

shippedTurns messy operational data into a brief and deck a board will actually read.
A Node.js pipeline that turns fulfillment-automation metrics into one-page strategic briefs, a thirteen-slide executive deck, white papers, and a chart library, all from one shared design system. Built as a working demonstration on synthetic data.
View on GitHub →For most of history, building something real took a team, a budget, and a yes from someone above you. Not anymore.
One curious person with the right tools can make almost anything now. That is the part I cannot get over, and most of what I do is just me chasing it. I built an iOS app without writing the code. I have shipped tools that handed people their afternoons back. I write because I finally have something I want to say.
The thread through all of it is simple. Get the boring work off people, so they can do the part that needs a human.
White paper
Two cultures for the AI moment, what each gets right, what each gets wrong, and why the best operators run both.
White paper
How to trust AI-generated numbers, when chasing a smarter model won't get you there.
White paper
Why most analytics stacks don't drive action, and why the fix is not a better dashboard.
