Applied AI

Fast. Cheap. Good. Pick all three.

AI didn't lower the bar. It raised the ceiling.

The triangle — fast, cheap, good, pick two — is broken. Now the bottleneck isn't the tool. It's the person using it.

There's a skill that matters more than prompting, more than tool knowledge, more than technical ability. Most people don't have it. AI is making it rarer.

I build apps for businesses — fast, lean, tailored.

Whether you need a simple website, a client portal, an internal dashboard, or a workflow automation — I scope it, build it, and hand it over. Days, not months.

You're not paying for AI. You're paying for pattern recognition, problem-solving, and knowing what's actually worth building.

You get agency-level work at freelancer rates because there's no team overhead, just me and the right tools.

  1. You tell me the problem
  2. I tell you if it's worth solving
  3. We build it in days, not months
"If your business logic matters, it shouldn't live inside tools you don't control."

I've spent thirty years noticing things before other people do.


Not because I'm smarter. Because I pay attention differently. I watch systems, not surfaces. I look for the pattern underneath the pattern. And I've learned to trust when something feels off — or feels early.

That instinct has kept me ahead of the curve on the internet (1995), experiential education (2011), decentralized finance and economics (2012), and now AI. Not because I chase trends. Because I recognize structural shifts before they become obvious.

That's what I bring to custom software development: pattern recognition, technical depth, and the judgment to know what matters.

Currently building RenderPlan.
