CTO. I ship most days. The harder work is shipping less.

AI tools change what an engineer is, not just what they do. The same tooling cuts one engineer's effort in half and multiplies another's output by ten. Which one of those you become from here is non-negotiable.

I rebuild what gives me leverage. My golden hours are 6 to 9am, dictating to agents at a rate that's added 854,200 words in seven months (as of May 3rd). "Insight Synthesizer" (per Wispr Flow). Tinkerer at heart. Lately, that means agentic bookkeeping, rugged embeddable systems, and tools that catch scammers preying on seniors.

mau  Multi-Agent Unit: a terminal-native orchestrator that turns one product request into a simulated engineering team. You play Product; it spins up the rest of the org, writes PRDs and contracts, coordinates dependencies, and has specialist agents ship real code on disk through your local Claude or Codex CLI.

recap  A daily knowledge-point briefing from your coding-agent sessions. Scans the prior N days of Claude Code and Codex transcripts on your machine, finds the moments where you encountered something unfamiliar, and produces a dense few-paragraph explainer of the underlying concepts, so you actually learn what the agent did instead of just merging the diff.

mcp-config-sync  A small Go CLI that keeps Claude Code and Codex MCP server config in sync. Runs one explicit direction at a time, preserves user and project scope, supports deny lists, and uses staged temp-config tests so it does not casually rewrite your real agent setup.

Only Family  Private location sharing for the people who actually are your family. Your circle sees you. Nobody else does. iOS.

My anti-scam and elder-protection work ships under StopTheScam, a brand I've been running for years:

• Vision  Chrome extension that analyzes links before you click them.
• SafeMail  A calm, straightforward email app for everyone, built especially for the people scammers target hardest. iOS.
• SafeBrowse  A web browser without the scams, pop-ups, or confusing clutter. iOS.
• Tend  Coordinate care for aging parents. Shared medical profile, activity log, and calendar, so nothing slips through the cracks. iOS.
