Apps & AI — Founder · Engineer

I build AI systems
people actually use.

Tech early adopter who cares less about the tech than what it does for people. Call it digital hospitality: a kid opens an app and finds nothing they shouldn’t; a homeowner calls a plumber at 9pm and a warm voice picks up; my wife’s half-finished thoughts get held until she needs them. Same work, different surfaces.

Two products with paying customers. Three agents running my household. The systems plumbing under all of it.

Products with paying customers

Two businesses. Both live. Both mine.

The household stack

Three agents.
One household.

I built a personal AI for myself, one for my wife, one for my son. They share a household SQLite store, bridge over localhost, and stay in their lanes — the JARVIS-Anna split was the technical problem; the persona-and-permission split was the human one. That’s the part most people get wrong.

  • For me

    JARVIS

    A 24/7 personal AI operating system. Telegram-fronted launchd daemon on macOS, Claude Opus on subscription.

    ~150 MCP tools

    Self-tooling — when a job needs a tool that doesn't exist, JARVIS writes it at runtime.

  • For my wife

    Anna

    A household assistant modeled on Anna Bates from Downton Abbey — warm, deferential, attentive, never performative.

    ~240 tools

    Mood-aware: daily message budgets, do-not-disturb windows, conversational permission instead of approval-button cards.

  • For my son

    Mozart

    A composer's AI for a high-school composer. Mozart-inspired persona — playful, sharp, music-literate.

    ~90 music tools · 490 passing tests

    Renders full multi-voice arrangements: LilyPond → PDF + MIDI + per-voice stems + MP3 preview from a single prompt.

Also shipped

Side projects, weekend builds, scratch-my-own-itch.

Most of these started as a question — “could I build that in a weekend?” — and shipped because the answer was yes.
