What I'm currently working on, reading, and thinking about.
Building
- KPIron — Revenue dashboard for fitness studios. Running the last round of end-to-end tests and finalizing pricing with my business partner. Sitting in the “almost production” zone.
- Callsheet — Pricing set. Handing day-to-day pitching off to my business partner so I can get my focus back to the agent stack. Deployed at callsheet.coach.
- Quick Capture — Tauri 2 capture app. Wrapping Apple notarization and DMG signing so it can ship outside of dev builds.
- AI Receptionist / Scheduler — New MVP exploring agentic booking and intake flows. n8n + Docker running on the always-on Cubi.
- TechLingo — Duolingo for tech-speak. Still noodling the shape, but I like the concept of translating jargon into normie language.
Operating
- Homelab — The MSI Cubi is now the always-on production node after Pong (my ops agent) migrated the full Zarq + Ping stack over to it in a single session. Months-long todo, knocked out in one afternoon.
- Ping — My Telegram AI companion. 65+ tools, always-on from the Cubi, no more X1 dependency. Morning briefings and voice handling remain the daily killers.
- Zarq Board — Task coordination system where my AI agents pick up and execute work autonomously. A BoardReviewer agent auto-verifies completed work against PRD criteria before anything reaches me.
Learning
- Evaluating open-source LLMs (MiniMax M2.7, Hermes 4 405B, MiMo-V2-Pro) against Opus and GPT-5.4 using blind A/B testing on real tasks
- Running Orca (open-source agentic IDE) alongside Cursor to see which fits which kinds of work. Its founder followed me back after I tweeted — maybe I’ll get to help shape it.
- Getting deeper into Tauri 2 / Rust for desktop apps via Quick Capture
- Exploring drone videography with a DJI Neo 2
Reading
Check my highlights for the full list. Currently working through biographies — picked up a Benjamin Franklin biography, with David McCullough’s The Wright Brothers queued up next. Still sampling AI research papers and PKM methodology on the side.
Life
Based in Austin, TX. Sales Engineer at Zebra Technologies by day, builder of things by night. Engaged. My sleep schedule is still weird — sometimes I crash at 7pm and wake up at midnight to code until dawn. That’s when the focus hits different.
When I’m not building, I’m probably playing MLB The Show 26 while my AI agents run tasks in the background. Yes, I still monitor deployments from my couch. No, I still don’t feel bad about it.
