About

Before software, the U.S. Army. After it, I founded a fitness marketplace and took it to paying users, then spent five years shipping client systems solo. Now I build AI products end-to-end — the agent pipelines, the data layer, and the UI.

How this console works

Every number on this page is real or labeled as a recording. When no cycle has reported, the panel says so. Static Next.js with no third-party runtime dependencies — data arrives via build-time fetch and telemetry commits.
