I usually start building because I like heavy personalization in my software. These projects are private, but the reasons for making them are not.
A personal assistant I built for my family. It helps with our calendars, tasks, reminders, mail, WhatsApp, and the small details of a busy week. I wanted a shared agentic system that can work beyond a single individual, knowing the people, their relationships and systems around them, not another empty chat box waiting to be prompted.
An experiment in giving a home a memory. A short narrated video of a shelf, pantry, or room becomes a searchable record of what is there and where it lives. The useful question is very ordinary: “Do we have this?”
A credit-card reward tool I built because I was tired of doing the optimization in my head. It answers a small question quickly: “Which card should I use here?”
An interactive family tree for a large extended family. It tries to make relationships understandable without turning everybody into an unreadable wall of names and lines.
Outside these personal projects, I co-founded MoBolt, which was acquired by Indeed. I then spent a decade at Indeed building and leading teams across recruiting, jobseeker discovery, notifications, and internal systems. More recently, I was on the founding team at Kahuna Labs, building an enterprise AI platform for technical support.
