On the bench right now.

Products, automations, and architectural experiments that are early or in progress. Some will ship to production. Some will teach me something and stop there. Both outcomes are fine.

01 Active Prototypes
01Brief
A small tool that turns a rambling conversation into a scoped product brief with clear open questions: the first step of every project I take on.
Progress62%
Private beta
02Runbook
Automations for the recurring ops chores of small teams: weekly reports, follow-ups, hand-offs. Designed so a non-technical person can read and adjust them.

Early
03Case-study system
A structured way to write and publish project write-ups on this site (problem, constraints, decisions, result) so every future project gets a proper page.

04Voice → tasks
An experiment: record a two-minute voice note after a client call and get a tidy task list and a draft follow-up. Testing whether it's actually better than typing.

Transparent progress, technical hurdles, and milestones as they happen.

Architecture

Migrating from single-page concept to static Next.js 14 multi-page system

Transitioned the entire portfolio into a modular App Router architecture. Created hardware-accelerated ScrollReveal observers using native IntersectionObserver, eliminated client-side layout shifts, and calibrated contrast variables for dark and light modes.

v0.4 Beta

Streaming parser for voice transcripts and ambiguity detection

Added streaming synthesis to Brief. It now flags underspecified requirements in client audio notes in real time, highlighting ambiguous deliverables in amber before compiling the final milestone plan.

Human-in-the-loop email dispatch for recurring agency invoices

Completed the core automation engine for Runbook. Rather than sending automated emails without oversight, it drafts the reminder, calculates days overdue, and queues it for a single-click review on Sunday afternoons.

Local Whisper testing vs. API latency evaluation

Benchmarked local small Whisper models on Apple Silicon against hosted API endpoints. Concluded that for short 2-minute voice memos, the local pipeline saves network calls and provides instant offline transcription.

Designing an honest case-study layout model: problem first, results last

Standard design portfolios show pretty screenshots with no context. Designed a strict editorial template requiring every project write-up to state the real problem, technical constraints, prototype iterations, and measured results.
