Building things

may 2025 – present

Taking a break from full-time to just... build stuff

  • Made WhyDidntIGetTheJob because job rejections shouldn't be a black box
  • Built AdvisorAI, a RAG-powered financial copilot that talks to your Gmail, Calendar, and CRM
  • Built CoWrite, a real-time collaborative editor with operational transformation (the hard kind of multiplayer)
  • Messing with OpenClaw, coding harnesses, agent orchestration, basically trying to get AI to do real work
  • A few more things cooking. It's that kind of time where you have an idea at 11pm and it's live by morning
