working on.
Building, shipping, and iterating — usually all at once. A snapshot of where things stand.

A voice-first parenting journal — tap and talk, get a written, searchable record of the early weeks. Built for exhausted, one-handed new parents. In active use since my daughter Lydia arrived. Read the build post.

MCP servers for USWDS, SNAP policy navigation, and Amtrak routes. Agentic benefits navigators. A policy rules engine. Fine-tuned local models for government use cases. Small experiments that compound.

Automated & verified Stripe reviews for your business. Still building.

Fractional staff software engineering alongside indie products — multiple revenue streams, one direction. The long game.
