I build AI-native tools, products, and the occasional t-shirt. 25 years of platform work — Microsoft, Stripe, now on my own.

What I'm building
Comic Scry — iOS app for triaging comic collections. Point your phone at any cover and get a tier and a price you can check against real sold listings. Five free scans, no signup; one-time $19.99 for more, no subscription. Live on the App Store now.
Obaron — AI automation practice for SMBs and founders. We install the automation that handles your ops, content, and intake work. Concierge service + scanner tools. First installs underway.
What else I make
Generative and illustrated-looking art. Candid photos of odd things nobody else is looking at. Clothes designed from my own photos and illustrations. Dry-humor videos about absurd everyday observations.
Same eye, different surfaces.
What I write about
Making AI agents actually work is harder than the demos suggest. The models are mostly fine — the integration is the problem. I write about MCP, enterprise AI adoption, and what platform work taught me about the layer everything else runs on. Occasionally about wardrobes, tabletop campaigns, and what it's like to ship five things at once.
