Step 01

Choose a discipline

Three ways of working, one person. Pick the one you came for — the object on screen changes with it.

AI implementation

Step 04

Approach

The smallest architecture that solves the problem. The same discipline for a client's money and my own.

Capital

Growth at a reasonable price, confirmed by momentum.

Names are scored with models I built in Excel, Power Query and VBA on professional market data.

Code

Single HTML file when that's enough. Native Swift when the platform does the heavy lifting.

Netlify, Supabase, React and App Intents are the usual tools.

AI

Implementation, not demos.

The right model for the job, data kept private where it can be, the interface designed around what the model is good at — and a measure of whether it helped.

Step 05

Background

Markets and clients for two decades, with software running alongside the whole way.
