I build systems and the worlds they run in: infrastructure automation, AI creative tooling, and Audio and Visual ventures.
I built a free media player that just plays the file when you click it, because Apple Music kept answering with an ad instead. A few hours of working with AI got the first version running, and it went on to ship on macOS and Windows without me writing a line of C#.
I built a digital audio workstation that runs in a browser tab and has no tracks, only a graph. Stems go in as nodes, get wired through EQ, dynamics, effects and AI, and sum in a console built to real desk behaviour. The wiring diagram is the session, and the same graph drives live playback and the offline bounce.
I built an options trading bot that shows its work. It trades short-dated SPY options behind seventeen guardrails and streams every decision to a live control plane, so when it doesn’t trade it tells me exactly which rule stopped it — which is most of the time, on purpose.
I repurposed a Soviet-era payphone into a piece of entertainment for a bar. A mix of electronics, code, and 3D design lets patrons drop in a quarter and dial their way through the weirdness I programmed into it.
I built a macOS app that converts any track into 8D audio, the kind that circles your head instead of sitting between your ears. It works from real measured ear data, so I can finally get the effect on the instrumental music I actually hyperfocus to.
I built a Chrome extension that screenshots a whole web page instead of stopping where the window does. It scrolls the page on its own, captures every screen, and stitches them into one image with no seams. Then it grew a second half: mark up the live page and it exports the whole review as a prompt for a coding agent.
I started a company to kill the worst part of publishing media, which was encoding one file a dozen ways and uploading it everywhere by hand. Firepype automated that whole pipeline, then grew into live podcast analytics and dynamic ad insertion before we sunset it in 2016.
I carried a cyberpunk story called Spirefall for fifteen years without the tools to tell it. AI finally closed that gap, so I made the visuals, the music, and the soundscapes myself and put the first piece of that world on screen.
I built a green screen out of light instead of paint, working from a trade show demo I saw twenty years ago. A ring of LEDs sitting on the lens axis bounces off retro-reflective fabric, so the screen only exists for the camera and never spills onto me.
I’m building a do-it-yourself motion-capture studio at home. It’s still in progress, so there’s no full write-up yet, just the rig coming together one part at a time.
