Work

Things I’ve built

A selection of products I have founded, designed, engineered, and shipped. The common thread is simple: start with a real problem and stay close enough to see whether the solution works.

The Human Archives

thehumanarchives.com

A series of limited-edition garments that connect physical design with digital archives of history and culture. Each chapter is limited to ten pieces and opens, via an embedded NFC chip, into research, 3D scans, animation, and interactive material.

Physical chapters, connected to a digital archive of history and culture.
  • Founded the project and built the product, brand, store, and archive experience.
  • Released ten chapters and sold approximately twenty pieces.
  • Replaced Shopify with a custom commerce platform built on Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe.

The project asks how physical objects can carry history, context, and meaning—not just a logo.

Octomate

octomate.au

Octomate designs custom AI agents that do real work inside a business. Each agent is built around the actual workflow, connects to the tools the team already uses, and keeps people in control of important decisions.

An example workflow: connected tools, useful actions, and a human checkpoint.
  • Co-founded the company and lead the technical side of product and AI engineering.
  • Maps the handoffs, rules, and edge cases in a real process before designing the agent.
  • Connects agents to email, CRMs, job systems, spreadsheets, documents, and internal data.
  • Builds in checkpoints, approvals, and override paths so teams stay in control.

The once-impossible work is becoming automatable. The useful question is where an agent can take responsibility without losing context, trust, or human judgment.

Personal AI System

A personal operating system that connects my calendar, tasks, messages, health data, and project context. It handles recurring work, keeps a persistent memory, and gives me one place to see what needs attention.

Calendar, tasks, messages, and project context brought into one daily system.
  • Works across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger.
  • Uses scheduled jobs and ten custom modules to manage recurring workflows.
  • Used daily, so product decisions come from real failures and real utility rather than a demo script.

Practical talks and workshops that helped small-business owners understand what AI could—and could not—do for their work.

Practical AI education for business owners in Illinois and Australia.
  • Led an AI adoption session for roughly thirty business owners at the Sandwich Chamber of Commerce in Illinois.
  • Presented The Foundations of AI to a similar-sized business audience in Australia.
  • Focused on useful applications, limitations, and the decisions owners could make next.
