A solo AI systems practice for mid-market companies, sold as a three-rung ladder: a fixed-scope AI Readiness Assessment, fixed-price builds scoped after diagnosis, and an Operate & Maintain retainer capped at a handful of clients so every system gets watched. No hourly billing, no free audits, no product catalog — the assessment produces a ranked roadmap of separately scoped projects specific to that company, and the first build is always the smallest one that proves itself in their numbers.

The business is also a build. The marketing site is Astro on Vercel with serverless functions and Supabase behind it: a lead pipeline, a booking flow, an operating dashboard, a phone line that rings my cell during business hours and produces a morning digest otherwise, and an assessment skill that turns a discovery-call transcript into a client report and an internal proposal sheet. The brand promise, “nothing fails silently,” is enforced on the business's own infrastructure first.

Not a chatbot. Not a productivity app. Chief of Staff is the operational layer that runs between me and everything else — daily briefings, task triage, decision support, and context management across the full indie portfolio. The architecture is deliberate: persistent memory backed by a secured Supabase connection means context actually survives across sessions. No third-party sync, no ambient logging, no model training on my data. Recently put through a full security hardening pass — signature-verified auth on every endpoint, user-scoped queries and mutations, encrypted server-only Google tokens, and human-in-the-loop email triage so untrusted content never writes to the database without a tap. Built as a PWA so it installs and behaves like a native app. The whole premise is that if you're going to trust an AI with how your day runs, the plumbing underneath it should be something you designed and own.

SITREP is a personal OSINT terminal — a daily situational-awareness tool that aggregates signals I actually care about and surfaces them in one place. Threat feeds, infrastructure noise, news with relevance filters. The SRE instinct applied to information: if you wouldn't run a production system without dashboards and alerts, why would you run your day without them? Built as a PWA, deployed privately, not a product.

Two sister sites built around a shared editorial philosophy: take ideas seriously, write for curious people who aren't academics, and never oversell the mystery. Frequency Unknown covers consciousness, perception, psychedelics, and the philosophy of mind — the honest, readable translation of ideas that usually live behind jargon or breathless woo. The Gnostic Guide covers early Christian mysticism, Nag Hammadi texts, and gnostic philosophy with the same rigor: sourced, skeptical, and written to respect the reader's intelligence. Both are Astro, both on Vercel, both with active content pipelines and newsletter infrastructure. 25+ published articles between them as of mid-2026, with 20-week content plans in motion. Built because the subject matter deserved better treatment than it was getting online.

Personal branding tools assume you already know what your brand is. Most people don't. yourEra starts a step earlier: a voice interview where Claude listens to how you actually talk — your phrases, your humor, your rhythm, your weird hangups — and turns ten minutes of speech into a brand brief and thirty days of content that sounds like you wrote it. Not like ChatGPT wrote it. The whole thing is a multi-agent pipeline under the hood, but what users feel is simpler: they spoke for ten minutes and got a month of posts back. $19/month. Built in a week. Live in production.

An editorial site for people on GLP-1 medications — the demographic that's exploded in the last two years, written for and largely ignored by mainstream health publishing. WordPress on the surface, AI-assisted content pipeline underneath: Claude in the loop for research, drafting, citation verification against actual sources, image production, and SEO. The Pinterest visual system is the part I'm proudest of — a typography-first identity that reads as a real publication, not a content farm. Built one article at a time with the discipline of a magazine, not a blog.

A state-by-state matrix of benefits eligibility (SNAP, Medicaid, unemployment, and more), generated and maintained through a templated pipeline rather than hand-written page by page. One template, scripted AI assistance, dozens of pages — the kind of programmatic content surface that makes sense when the underlying data is structured but the audience needs prose.

Two lightweight, legal-adjacent reference tools. Statute-of-limitations lookup by state and claim type; child-support calculators by state with formula transparency. AdSense-monetized, fast, and built to look like real publications rather than scraper farms — same editorial discipline as the bigger sites, smaller surface area.
