What I’m actually doing this month.
Updated when it changes, which is often. Everything below is in my hands, not on a slide.
July 2026
A personal AI that does things instead of describing them. Memory that holds, 40+ tools, approval gates so it can’t get creative with your calendar.
Two teams at a time, no more. I own the roadmap and I write code — the second part is what makes the first part honest.
Zero-dependency pieces I got tired of rewriting. Nobody asked for them. I use all eight in production, which is the only review that counts.
A car either starts or it doesn’t.
Nobody argues with a car about whether it’s finished.
That’s the standard I hold software to, and mostly software fails it. A 911 has been the same idea for sixty years and it keeps getting better because nobody was allowed to restart from scratch. An Aston is proof that restraint and drama can share one object. A Mustang is proof you don’t need to be expensive to be honest.
So I build products the way good cars are built: one clear idea, engineered until it’s boring to operate, and shipped before it’s beautiful.
Five machines. Spec sheets, not adjectives.
Ask me about any of them.
Co-founder & CTO, sole developer. A chief-of-staff agent with persistent memory, a cron automation engine, browser control and 40+ tools behind approval gates — across WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, web and voice. Bring your own key for every model. Live in private alpha.
Twenty-three years, one continuous line.
Read it as elevation. No leaps, no relaunches — the same climb since 2003, which is either discipline or an inability to quit. Drag the terrain.
Cities that were here first.
I’m drawn to places with layers — old stone, working streets, a few hundred years of people getting it wrong and fixing it. Good perspective for anyone who thinks their two-year-old product is important.
Three objects I study instead of reading product books.
I don’t own these. That has never stopped me from reading the spec sheets like scripture, or from stealing how they were made.
Written when I have something to say.
Which is less often than a content calendar would like.
Most of my work lives in private repos. These don’t. Zero dependencies, because I’ve been burned.

If you’ve read this far you’re either hiring or procrastinating — both are fine, and I’d like to hear which. Fractional CTO, AI advisory, or a technical founder’s hands on something that matters.
