More about me

Over the last few years I've

Designed and implemented CRM and intake workflows for a multi-location legal services team, cutting double-bookings, standardizing notes, and driving higher close rates on consults.
Built lead, dialer, and spreadsheet pipelines for a real estate org that reduced manual admin hours, improved response times, and made large call campaigns (30,000+ leads) actually manageable.

People tend to pull me in when

They're growing, but internal operations still run on memory, siloed spreadsheets, or one person holding everything in their head.
They want to add AI and automation without breaking what already works, or overwhelming a non-technical team.

Manual lead research was slow, inconsistent, hours per batch, low quality.

Built an automated scraping + enrichment pipeline (Apify, Playwright, Clay AI) that captures, enriches, and ranks leads by conversion likelihood.

Impact: lead research cut from hours to minutes, higher lead quality, repeatable template for new markets.

The XP Desktop

My old website: a fully working Windows XP desktop. Only visitors between 30 and 45 could navigate it; everyone else was lost. It stays up because it's still the most creative way I've displayed my work.

In the studio

I think the next serious wave of software runs on your own hardware. Open-weight models like Llama and Mistral already run offline on consumer GPUs through tools like Ollama and llamafile, and quantization keeps shrinking the compute bill.

Privacy. Prompts, documents, and embeddings never leave the machine. There is no third-party retention policy to audit.

Reliability. No API outage, rate limit, or model deprecation can break your workflow. Software you host keeps working.

Control. You pin the model version and the weights, so behavior does not shift under you overnight.

The local-first software essay by Ink and Switch laid out the blueprint: your data lives on your device, and sync is a feature, not a dependency. Simon Willison tracks how fast local LLMs are closing the gap. The tools I release here will run local first.
