On ‘why’ I build: During development, we dedicate as much time to observing the realities of creative work as we do to coding, specifically documenting where workflows fail.

Soaring above Philly! 🏙️ Inspired by serene alpine journeys, I dreamt of a concept for gondolas connecting Love Park with Lemon Hill. Imagine the gentle pace, the breathtaking views, and a totally fresh perspective on everything from parades to Boathouse Row.

Always appreciate the efforts of creative and artistic fringe movements and enjoy finding inspiration in whatever a subculture community has to offer though I am not always connecting with the vibe - youtu.be/3AIFxU1FCM8?...

Got tired of AI creep

I've spent my career building systems and workflows across multiple industries. After decades of deadlines and frustrating software, I've seen what works and what gets in the wai…. W #AI, way…
