Product and project manager in San Francisco. When a tool is missing, overpriced, or overcomplicated, I'd rather build a better one than wait for someone else to.
Now: DayPilot 2.0 is in final testing. Aether is learning to ignore the TV.

DayPilot v2.0 in testing
iOS · solo · zero logins, on purpose
Productivity apps charge a subscription and make you sign in to see your own to-do list. I built one that runs entirely on the iPhone: private by default, with nothing to sign up for. Version 2.0 is built around one simple flow.

Aether in development
macOS · AI · runs fully on-device
A voice assistant that lives on my laptop. It recognizes my voice, reads tone, remembers past conversations, and answers out loud in about 1.6 seconds, with nothing sent to the cloud.
It answers to "Jarvis." The suit is still in progress.

Principles
Start with the annoying thing.The best things I've built started as something that bugged me.
If a to-do list needs a login, something went wrong.
Ship in weeks. Polish in versions.
One task at a time.For apps, for teams, and for me.
Write it down.Meeting notes are how a team remembers what it agreed to.
Name things so future-you understands them.Future-you is tired and has no context.
