AI Support · SaaS

A 24/7 AI customer-support agent for small businesses. Feed it your docs and it answers customers using only your content — citing its sources and handing off to a human when it doesn't know, so it never makes things up. Auto-onboards any business from just its website URL. Always on. Never makes it up.

The Lab

Playful experiments I build to learn, tinker, and chase a cool idea — no roadmap, just curiosity.

GDScribe generating Godot GDScript from a described mechanic
GDScribe

Describe a game mechanic in plain English and GDScribe writes the Godot (GDScript) code — then explains how it works and lets you refine it. A learn-by-building tool for game devs.

Air Instrument

Play music in thin air. Webcam hand-tracking reads your gestures and turns them into notes — no keys, no strings, just your hands and a camera.

Experimenting

Builder at Heart

I've spent 15 years designing learning experiences for companies like Collins Aerospace, Motorola Solutions, and V2X — mastering how people absorb, retain, and act on information.

For the past year, I've been channeling that expertise into something new: building AI-powered products from the ground up. Not as a coder — as a product thinker who uses AI to bring ideas to life.

That combination is rare. Most product builders don't deeply understand learning behavior. Most instructional designers don't ship working software. I do both.

I'm actively transitioning into product management — particularly in EdTech, health tech, and consumer apps. If you're building something that helps people, let's talk.
