01How I help

What I do

Consulting

Product builds, adding AI to existing software, agentic systems, advisory work, technical reviews, and workshops — the person you talk to is the one writing the code.

Building

A small SaaS, an AI art pipeline, a couple of mobile games, some fine-tuned models, and open-source developer tools — mostly built solo, as side projects.

Writing

Essays on AI-assisted development, the self-taught path, and what AI can and can't realistically do.

Checking A.I. Work is Hard: How I Handle It
