ALL 38 PROJECTS
38 shownProduct work dates reflect verified source activity or an owner-confirmed update, not necessarily a new public download. Private demos require sign-in, an invitation, or a password.
What the labels mean
Prototype: an early experiment; features may be incomplete. Beta: a usable build offered for testing; expect rough edges. Released: published as a regular release. In development: still being built.
Public preview: opens without an invitation, but some features may be limited. Private demo: access is restricted. Private source: the code is not public; this does not mean the app is private.
The five featured projects come first, followed by the rest of the curated collection.

ABOUT
Builder, translator, curious generalist.
I spent years at Segment helping demanding data teams make sense of customer-data infrastructure, then watched its acquisition by Twilio reshape how I think about platforms at scale. Now I’m focused on AI-native products—both inside go-to-market work and as a builder shipping opinionated experiments.
Currently exploring: agent evaluation tooling, longevity data, and what a great AI-era sales engineer looks like.
