The interesting part isn’t adding AI. It’s deciding where it actually helps—and where the user should stay in control.
I build tools for people who ship.

Beyond the code
A few rules I build by.
Find the smallest version that solves the real problem, then earn the extra features.
Ship early, write down what broke and use the next build to fix the right thing.
I’m most interested where AI, developer tools and everyday products meet.
