Software for the parts that don’t fit neatly together

I build full-stack products, applied AI systems, and tools that turn complex workflows into clear experiences.

Founding engineering · Education systems

Foundations to Mastery

A founder-built education platform linking diagnostic evidence, educator review, learning paths, and operations.

I built across the learner journey and the staff workflows behind it, from assessment and review to instruction, practice, and the next decision.

Applied AI · Product integration

Seed Health

A working personalization and learn-to-earn demo that became part of a broader member experience.

The journey connected onboarding, product-fit quizzes, personalized results, and learning modules. I also built a separate internal article generator grounded in retrieved sources.

macOS utility · Human-directed AI build

QuietDesk

The same desktop. Less visual noise.

A native Mac menu bar app that hides icon names until they’re needed. I conceived, directed, and tested the product; Claude implemented it in Swift.
