25 years building platforms. The gap between strategy and operating reality never closes — it just moved to AI.
How I Found My SOUL.md and Stopped Cosplaying as an Enterprise
What I'm building
Obaron — AI Readiness auditor for developer docs. Lightning Scan free, deep audit $49, MCP-native. Built in four days because the prior year did the real work.
Cocoajam — tabletop RPG sessions → web series on YouTube. For campaigns that deserve a wider audience than the kitchen table. (Not yet announced. You heard it here.)
A fantasy series — pseudo-physics magic, three villain archetypes, three protagonists at different social layers. Art books and a web series are the plan.
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 worldbuilding, wardrobes, and what it's like to ship five things at once.
