The operator who builds the tools.
I ran operations for ten years and got tired of the slow parts. So I started building tools to speed them up.
Selected work
Ignite
An autonomous agent with multi-model routing, daily research sweeps, and a synced knowledge vault. Slack in, results out, every morning at 8.
This site
Built with Claude Code (Opus), directed and refined by me. The build itself is the case study: Next.js, Tailwind, Vercel, documented in the build log.
Page one, no agency
Designed, built, and ranked a local business site to the first page of Google with structured content and AI-assisted SEO.
