Twenty years producing live television, then the software the control room needed. AI video pipelines, production Cloudflare apps, live trading systems and shipped mobile software, built at broadcast pace and kept running after air.

How I build

Curious enough to go all the way down.

By day I produce live television for Metro Nashville and own the AI tooling my team uses. That gives me a bias: I notice friction, I care about the operator, and I know a prototype from a tool that survives a deadline.

01Start with the painThe best product spec is usually a repeated annoyance.
02Make the magic legibleAI should feel capable, never mysterious or fragile.
03Ship the whole loopBuild, deploy, monitor, learn, improve. Then keep it running.
04Honest failure statesWhen a sensor goes stale the app says so instead of rendering a confident zero.
The toolkit

Tools are only interesting in motion.

Let's build something useful.

Open to remote software and AI engineering roles. If the problem is real and the team cares about the details, I want to hear about it.
