I put AI to work: delivering programs, teaching teams, and building tools.
Senior technical program manager. I use AI to run programs faster and sharper, teach teams to do the same, and ship small tools on the side.

A curated gallery of some of my projects.
My first "shipped" app, built in a day with AI. It OCRs every screenshot you take into a local, private, full-text search index, so you can find any price, link, or message you ever captured just by searching a word. Python, Tesseract, SQLite FTS5, in a Mac menu-bar app.

GitHub Copilot drives Playwright browser automation inside VS Code, doing real operational work instead of just generating text. Demo'ed to fellow employees, who called it "fantastic" and "a really good idea," then immediately asked how to package it so they could reuse it.
Replaced hours of manual spreadsheet updates with a local-first data pipeline. It pulls live brokerage data through the SnapTrade API, merges years of transaction history into a single SQLite source of truth, and regenerates fully formatted Google Sheets and dashboards on a weekly cron. Idempotent and hands-off, so the numbers stay current on their own.

Built from parts on hand, with a couple of hard-won lessons about what a plastic bucket will and won't let you do.

The personal site waited a decade because I dreaded the upkeep. AI erased that objection, so I finally built it.
Cancel one streaming service you barely watch and point that same twenty bucks a month at a pro AI account. Same money, a lot more back.
Why AI is worth your time: it meets you where you actually learn and more.
