Building with intelligence at the dawn of applied AI
These are projects and experiments I've built recently — some for clients, some for myself. Each applies AI to make information more useful, decisions more efficient, and workflows more effective.
They're grounded in two decades of building, leading, and investing — from the seat of CTO, CEO, and PE operating partner. AI is reshaping how companies drive operations and deliver products even more profoundly than the web transformed commerce.
The Future of Proofreading with AI Consensus Systems
How combining multiple AI proofreaders with consensus-based decision making can achieve better results than either humans or AI alone. July 2025.

Don't Build AI Tools. Build With AI.
Creating AI-native companies that change category economics. June 2025.
Outcome: Foundation for Startup Research.
AI-Driven Buyer Alignment
Testing frameworks where AI compares your messaging to what your market actually hears — and surfaces gaps before you launch.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Delivering quality proprietary content to AI decision systems using MCP.

Strategic decision feedback
An application that uses AI to provide critical feedback in go-to-market decisions.
Outcome: Startup concept, effective technology but could not resolve on GTM. Retired.
Consumer Product Selector
AI-powered product selection across a wide range of consumer categories.

AI in Regulated Contexts
Exploring how compliance, audit, and defensibility change when AI becomes part of the workflow.
Outcome: Developed AI tool to write compliance training scripts and documents.

Preprocessed Repositories
Streamlining external data with preprocessed repositories. December 2024.

AI isn't just another tool — it's a shift in how we operate, deliver, and decide.
I'm especially drawn to places where it rewrites cost structures, reshapes interfaces, or expands who gets to build.
