About

Based in Austin, TX. I've spent 15 years in UX and web, the last seven on enterprise web at Flex. I also build with AI — Hearth and Moodplay are live — and I front a shoegaze band.

01
App
Hearth
A household finance advisor that tells us what to do with our money, not just where it went. Live bank data through SimpleFIN, a per-person privacy model, and a Claude connector so we can ask it questions directly.
02
App
moodplay
Describe where you want to go emotionally. Claude engineers the shift — curating a personalized Spotify playlist with a 3-act arc across opening, development, and resolution. Not mood-matching. Emotional engineering.

Automation · Retired
NextLocal AI
An agency for getting local businesses into AI search answers. I built an automated visibility audit and a multi-agent lead pipeline — then shut it down when the market math didn't work. The write-up covers why.
04
System
Vellamere
A generative ambient music project run by an agent. Non-repeating pieces generated in Logic; the agent bounces and files them, and every piece passes my review before release.
05
Band
Stares
Four-piece shoegaze / 90s alt. Dense, guitar-driven. Influenced by My Bloody Valentine, DIIV, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins — somewhere between Loveless and Siamese Dream. Four demos out on Bandcamp.
