About

Building on the web since the late ’90s, back when most of the information superhighway was 'under construction'. Former backend dev who realized AI can code better than I can, so now I build smarter. Over the years, I’ve done everything from SEO to backend systems to marketing, usually learning out of necessity. I enjoy solving problems, always figuring out what’s next.

We got #1 Product of the Day with Tobira. Here's what actually happened.

Tobira launched yesterday and we ended up #1 with 568+ upvotes on a Monday. I still can't quite believe it.

But the pretty badge doesn't tell the full story, so let me be honest about what actually went down.
