I build small, fast tools that make everyday life a little less annoying.

For years I turned messy data into useful things for other people. These days I do it for myself — and for the people I love.

I'm not really an "ideas" person; I'm a finishing person. I notice the small friction everyone else has learned to live with, build the smallest thing that removes it, and actually ship it — domain, app store, the boring parts included. Then I sweat the details until it feels quiet and quick.

The doing is the point. Some of what I make is used by a lot of people; some helps exactly one person and a twenty-year-old cat. I care about both kinds — and I work the whole way, design through deploy.

Almost everything I've built falls into one of these.

The stuff that doesn't show up in a portfolio — but explains the rest of it.

• Jazz, loud. My dad's a drummer, so it's in the blood — the Blue Note is a second living room.
• The Comedy Cellar more nights than I'll admit.
• Ten quiet minutes most mornings. Meditation keeps the rest of this honest.
• GOAT-format Yu-Gi-Oh, chess, and an unreasonable interest in Japanese knives.
• The Mets, against my better judgment. The Tigers, out of loyalty.
• A little home server humming in the corner, running far more than it should.
• Oreo, supervising all of it.
