I build the things I wish existed

I used to think building software and building wealth both needed a background I don't have. I'm spending this year finding out how untrue that is, in the open.

Sixteen years turning data into decisions, most recently running analytics at Poshmark. No engineering degree, no formal training in any of it.

Then I built a Slack bot that answered data questions in minutes: a quick number for an exec, the full breakdown for an analyst, any hour, no ticket in a queue. Work that used to take my team days. I built it with AI doing the heavy lifting, and the wall I'd always assumed was there simply wasn't.

Money is the same story, just slower. Ten years of tracking every dollar: what I earn, what I invest, what I spend and why. Nothing clever, just habits and a little math anyone can run. It's done more for my net worth than any raise ever did.

That's what this site is: both threads, side by side, work shown rather than just results. Building with AI. Building wealth. Written for anyone curious whether either is actually learnable without the background I didn't have.

What I'm building now

Right now: rebuilding this site by hand, and building a small system of AI agents to help run it. Follow along in the log.

Let's talk

If you're building something, or just want to trade notes on AI or money, I'd love to hear from you. Coffee, a call, or just drop me a note.
