Building TrakMac. Talk, don't tap.

About

I'm a builder, marketer, and coach based in Los Angeles. I work at the intersection of fitness and software, and I ship fast. Right now I'm building TrakMac, a voice-first macro tracker for people who train and don't want logging to feel like data entry. You say what you ate, it tracks it. That's the whole idea. Before TrakMac I spent years in brand and growth, helping products find their story and their audience. I build things I actually use every day, and TrakMac is the one I reach for most.

The things nobody bold you when you launched your "passion project".

You'll be up at 1am chasing an edge case that hits exactly one user in a thousand. A login hiccup here, a macro math glitch there. 99% of people will never even see it.

Doesn't matter. You'll want it flawless for every single human who opens the thing, including the ones who'll never notice you fixed anything.

Perfect probably isn't reachable. You'll chase it anyway.
Then after all your work. Did you break something for the 99% of users?
This is the new struggle. Okie Dokie, back to it.

TrakMac - Voice-first macro tracking for fitness enthusiasts

Voice-first macro tracking for fitness enthusiasts. Tell TrakMac what you ate, in plain language, and it returns calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. No weighing, no barcodes, no database. A formula built from you and your training gets you to about 90% of true. Consider it TrakMac'd™.
