About

I build AI-first products, mostly solo and increasingly with coding agents doing a lot of the work. I care about agentic coding, AI-assisted workflows, and turning messy problems into software that actually ships, not demos. My goal is simple: see how far one person can go with the right agents, tight feedback loops, and a bias for shipping over polishing. Currently building Skiml, an AI read-later tool that turns the pages you save into one-minute action briefs.

Skiml - Skim any page. Get the brief that matters.

Skiml turns the pages you save into decisions, not another pile. Save any article, PDF, video, podcast, or newsletter in one click from Chrome, and Skiml writes a short action brief: a summary, the key insights, and clear action items. A daily digest brings the right saves back, and triage mode (Act, Reference, Archive) clears the backlog in minutes. Search and tags keep it all findable. Readwise resurfaces, Raindrop bookmarks, Obsidian stores; Skiml helps you finish. Free to start.
