AI & Technical
I build tools to solve problems I run into. When I needed market research automated, I built an AI agent that scans Reddit and the web, then generates structured opportunity reports. When I needed to analyze options flow, I built an 18-tool CLI suite with pattern scanning and a Flask dashboard. When I needed a mastering chain for music production, I built an audio plugin in C++/JUCE. These aren't products with customers — they're proof I can prototype fast, work across the stack, and ship things that actually work.
