My Journey

<p class="text-xl text-warm-charcoal/80 max-w-3xl mx-auto">
25 years in Silicon Valley taught me to ship fast and think big. Bitcoin
since 2013. Two exits. Three times employee #1. Now Austin-based and
building at the frontier of AI.

<strong>I learned to build differently because I had to.</strong>
Learning disabilities closed traditional paths. I found my own. That
pattern of finding alternative approaches became my superpower: seeing
opportunities others miss, spotting waves before they crest, shipping
when others are still debating.
</p>
<p class="text-lg leading-relaxed">
This approach took me from self-taught programmer to Silicon Valley
CTO. Two exits. Three times employee #1. Systems handling
<strong>10 billion transactions per day</strong>. And now
<a href="#projects" class="text-warm-blue hover:underline">AI</a
>, where I've been building Claude Code tooling for 18 months before
Anthropic launched their own.
</p>
<p class="text-lg leading-relaxed">
Today I operate at the frontier of
<strong>AI-native development</strong>: writing specifications, not
code. Directing autonomous AI agents, reviewing outcomes instead of
pull requests. Most organizations are stuck bolting AI onto existing
workflows and seeing productivity <em>dip</em>. I've redesigned the
entire process. I build the
<a href="#projects" class="text-warm-blue hover:underline"

that help others make the same leap.

Spec-Writing Is the New Core Skill

Process Transformation, Not Tool Adoption
</h3>
<p class="text-warm-charcoal/70">
Organizations seeing 25-30%+ gains redesigned their entire development
workflow around AI. New spec formats, new review processes, new CI/CD
for AI-generated code. I build the tools—like ai-coding-config—that make
this transformation possible.

When AI handles implementation, the human's value is understanding the
problem space broadly enough to direct it correctly. 25 years spanning
