From idea to reality

Things I’m building.

In addition to my day job, this is what I’m working on.

Tell AI what you want, not what to do.

The Enso Method

I’ve had AI write pretty much all of my code since late 2024, and here’s what I’ve learned, the AI usually isn’t the problem. We are. We give it a sentence or two, it fills in the blanks with guesses, and then we complain about everything it guessed wrong. The Enso Method is the methodology I built to fix that, and I use it every day on my own projects and real client work. Decide what you want up front, then let the agents build it. It’s free and open source, as skills for Claude Code and Codex.

A sensory VR world to explore. No instructions needed.

Elevator Fun Rooms

My daughter Sydney loves VR and elevators. But reading and menus put a lot of games out of reach for kids like her. And honestly, even if you can read, why deal with menus when you’re already in an immersive world? Just reach out and play. That’s why I’m building Elevator Fun Rooms: ride an elevator into fanciful rooms, pop balloons, poke wobbly jelly blobs, and see what happens. No goals, no scores. Just have fun being there.

Making AI work shareable

MarkView

Working with AI tools, I end up with a lot of Markdown files: specs, notes, plans, all of it. That’s great until I send one to someone who doesn’t write software. They open it and get a mess of formatting symbols and unreadable tables. I built MarkView because reading a document should be as simple as opening a PDF. It’s a free desktop Markdown viewer for Mac, Windows, and Linux. Open a file and get a properly formatted, readable document, without an account or uploading it anywhere. A small tool to make the things I’m creating with AI easier to share with everyone else.

Track behaviors. Understand patterns. See what helps.

VillageMetrics

I built VillageMetrics because I’m raising a daughter with autism who has behavioral challenges, and I needed better insight into what was actually helping. The app lets you record voice journal entries, which AI then analyzes so you can literally chat with your data — asking questions about how meds, therapies, or changes in routine might be making a difference. It’s been powerful to use and pretty fun to build.

The book on building real software with AI.

The Enterprise Vibe Coding Playbook

I live and breathe this stuff. AI first development has completely changed the way I build software, and I’ve never been more productive — or had more fun. I wrote this book because I’ve seen firsthand how even great developers barely scratch the surface of what’s possible with these tools. And if you’re running a dev team, especially at a large company, the potential impact is huge. It’s a practical playbook for teams that want to build real production software with AI, not just demos. Honestly, you could wake me up at 3 a.m. and I’d happily talk your ear off about this — that’s how much I love it.

See how your habits match the life you want.

BestSelfApp

I’m kind of a data nerd when it comes to tracking my life—whether it’s steps, sleep, or something as deep as how I’m measuring up to my own definition of success. I created this iOS/Android app because I wanted a tool that goes beyond tracking the usual health stats. It’s like a personal dashboard that shows how my habits are either helping or hurting the way I actually want to live.

A children’s book

Riley and Bot: Jobs for Robots and Jobs for Me

Yes, I actually wrote a children’s book! And of course, it’s on a topic like AI. It’s about how robots and AI will shake up the job market, helping kids and parents understand why it’s important to get ready for a future where AI could take over many of the jobs we know today.

A small experiment

Rosa: A SMS chat bot for passwords

I really hate passwords. So much so that I didn’t even want to sign up for a password manager because I didn’t want to have to remember a password to that! So I made my own password manager that doesn’t even require a login or anything to install. You just send it text messages, it knows you by your phone number. Of course you have to memorize a single password to combine with the passwords you store here as you shouldn’t trust me with your whole passwords! You’d have to watch the app’s video to better understand that. I think this is partly why the concept hasn’t really taken off.
