Time, Resources, Speed. Being concise is key.
Computer Science
Technology as a craft
I am a computer scientist with a BS in Computer Science. I love technology as a medium to craft and design, and as a way to solve problems. A problem is my canvas, and I am always eager to paint my solution on it.
Tech for the people
Powerful tools should not stay behind a paywall
I have found a new purpose for my computer science education: using it to uplift communities and to teach the people around me about the tools already at their disposal. Powerful technology should not stay locked behind a corporate paywall. The people who could benefit from it most are too often the ones priced out of it.
What I am building
Automarket
That belief is the engine behind Automarket, my done for you website and marketing service. It puts corporate grade tools (modern sites, real outreach, measurement built in) into the hands of small businesses, artists, and organizations that have been shut out of them. One operator, production grade results, accessible pricing.

How I work
Three things I live by
Communication
An idea only matters once it can be shared and understood.
Rigor
Do it right, all the way down, every single time. Even if you have to do it again.
Without all three, you can have the best idea in the world and still never be able to carry it out.
Selected work
Things I have built
Hackathons, agents, and circuit boards. A growing list of the problems I have picked up and painted on.

Resume
Pick the lens that fits
Same person, different focus. I keep a resume tuned for each kind of work I take on, so you can read the one that matches what you need.

On AI
A tool meant to enhance human ability
AI is a tool meant to enhance human ability, not replace it.
I firmly believe AI is more intelligent than humans. But the place where people and AI team up perfectly is results based creativity: pushing the bounds of business, of science, of what we once thought was possible.
I see AI like the calculator. When calculators first arrived, the people who had spent their whole lives mastering the older, slower tools were probably devastated. Some refused to adapt and kept doing math the rudimentary way. The ones who kept innovating picked up the new tool and used it to enhance their creativity.
That said, I do not believe AI belongs in the arts the way a human does. Art comes from the mind. If someone leans on AI to enhance the skill or the creativity of their art, they are not in the same league as a person who has spent decades honing their craft.
Science and logistics answer to the cosmos. Art answers to our hearts.
Build and collaborate
Have a problem worth painting on
If you are building something, stuck on something, or just want to talk shop about engineering, agents, or access to better tools, I would love to hear from you.
