I still design in Adobe first. It's in my fingers, like being used to writing notes with a pen and then having to do everything on a computer.
After that I bring it to life with AI, which opens up a lot I couldn't do on my own before. But I don't want to skip the first part. That's where I actually think.
I spend most of my time building at the intersection of data, history, tokenization, and financial systems. How do you make messy historical and financial information usable, checkable, and useful when the tools keep changing . I m a solo founder. AI made it possible to ship more than one person used to be able to ship. That part is real. The other part is also real: the work still needs other minds. You can generate the first version alone. You cannot see the blind spots alone. You cannot stay honest about what actually works alone. That s the part that feels harder now, not easier. The tools got better. The number of people who will sit with you on the hard, unglamorous version of a problem did not. I m here to meet other solo founders who are in that same stretch building something real, using AI heavily, and still looking for humans who can push the work further than any model can. If that s you, say hi.
