Projects
Things I've built and why.
The Bouncer at the Door
I built a security checkpoint between two AI agents, one that browses the web and one that controls my computer, because the stuff it finds online could contain hidden attacks.
What Broke When I Let an AI Run My Notes for a Week
I built a system to organize my notes and find hidden connections between ideas. After one week and 192 notes, things broke in ways that taught me more than the building did.
How I Taught Bob to Download My Bank Statements
Banks don't give you a way to automatically download your statements. But their websites accidentally do. Here's how I figured that out.
Teaching My AI Partner to Think, Not Just Obey
After two weeks working with my AI partner Bob, I realized his rulebook was making him worse at his job. So I threw most of it out and taught him judgment instead.
Building a Second Brain That Argues With Me
I consume hundreds of pieces of content a year. Articles, videos, podcasts, conversations. I couldn't remember what I thought about any of them. So I built a system that finds connections I missed and challenges my own assumptions.
How Do You Know If Someone Is Actually Good at Using AI?
Everyone says they use AI. But nobody can prove they're good at it. So I'm designing a way to measure it.
The Machine That Translates My Ideas for Different People
I built a system that takes the same idea and reshapes it for different audiences -- friends, engineers, kids, executives. Same truth, different packaging.
Teaching an AI to Work in a Cage (On Purpose)
When your AI partner can run code on your computer, how do you let it work without letting it wreck anything? I built a containment system with graduated trust, egress filtering, and credentials the AI literally cannot see.
Turning Fantasy Basketball Into a Data Science Problem
I've played fantasy basketball for 10+ years on instinct. This year I built an AI analyst that watches the league 24/7, spots patterns I'd miss, and delivers actionable insights to my phone every morning.
I Built an AI Partner. Here's What I Learned About Delegation.
Not an assistant. Not a chatbot. A partner with opinions, memory, and the ability to push back. Building Bob taught me more about delegation than any management book.
