About
I used to write software; now I use AI to do it for me. I taught myself how to program when I was 8 using documentation and books, and I kept learning throughout my life and career. That foundation is still incredibly useful for creating full stack applications with AI.
For most of my career, I built and maintained production websites for companies like Threadless and Enova International. I learned the “normal” way: requirements, bugs, performance, deployment, and everything that breaks at 2am. These days I’m aiming to automate the entire workflow from top to bottom.
I don’t consider this “getting code for free.” The value is that AI can accelerate the parts that used to be slow: exploring options, scaffolding, refactoring, glue code, and documentation. The part that still matters most is understanding what you’re building—how the system fits together, what can go wrong, and how to ship something that can survive real users.
Outside of client work, I run Capsize LLC. I’ve released Cowboy Casino on itch.io, and I built AI Runner, a desktop app with a user base I supported for a while.
My current tooling is intentionally simple: Python, Docker, VS Code, and GPT-5.2. I try not to over-share implementation details because I’m actively pushing the workflow forward, but the goal is straightforward: automate the boring parts and spend time on product decisions.
I’m building something new right now as well—quietly. If you want the longer version of how I think about building, you’ll probably like the posts in the blog.
