About

I build lean, practical products that improve operations, visibility, and day-to-day execution for real-world teams. My background spans autonomous vehicle validation, data collection, technical program management, and tooling built across operators, engineers, and fast-moving technical teams. I care a lot about turning messy processes into simple software that people actually want to use. Right now I’m focused on products around workflow automation, live operations dashboards, AI-assisted tools, and lightweight software that helps teams move faster without adding bloat. I’m here to ship useful things, learn quickly, and meet other builders doing the same.

Checkmate - Be your own PM

Spent a week on a personal project management web app using @OpenAI's GPT-5.4 and @Claude by Anthropic. My fianc mentioned that @Asana and @Jira often need a company account, I took matters into my own hands and built @Checkmate. The kicker is that you can use the AI Planner to build drafts for you automatically. After a few followup questions, you can have a built out project with dates, priority levels, tasks and subtasks. Soon, you'll even be able to install it from the App Store or Google Play Store.

@Checkmate is constantly receiving updates, so expect to see the app change along the way. If you want to organize a project from scratch, give it a try! Feedback is always welcome.

Looking for Early Feedback

Looking for early feedback before launch. Think of Checkmate as your personal project management tool to help keep track of your todo list. Need help figuring out a plan? Use the AI Planner to help build a draft to work off of. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
