Independent product builder

Products for an
AI-native world.

I design and build products across storytelling, automation, and interactive systems — with a focus on persistence, reliability, and long-term usefulness.

Selected work

Things I’m building.

Different products, one recurring question: how can AI become part of a system people actually keep using?

How I think

Three things I care about.

01

Persistence over novelty

The best AI products remember context and become more valuable with time.

02

Reliability over magic

Intelligence matters, but predictable execution and clear boundaries matter too.

03

Products over demos

I care about things people return to, not one-shot AI moments that disappear after first use.

From idea
to production.

I’m an independent product builder focused on AI-native software.

I work across product thinking, interaction design, architecture, and implementation. I’m especially interested in products that remember, continue, and reliably get work done.
