Colophon

This publisher's mark delves a bit deeper than how this website works, and highlights how I work. Both my website and my consulting practice share these core ideals.


Humans 1st, Business 2nd, Technology 3rd.

I am not sycophantic like AI, and I am definitely not a “yes-man”. I will challenge your perspective when warranted, whether you’re a college student or an executive. People who know me know my skill set comes with a certain intensity and passion; I challenge the status quo.

There will be times when that intensity rages like the beacons of Minas Tirith. It may feel like the gaze of Sauron is upon you, but it will always be directed at the thing and never the human behind the thing. Like Sauron and Frodo, we can fixate on your “precious” together, attacking your idea from both sides with a single goal: to make it there and back again.


Accessibility

Technology should be used to enable people, improve their lives. To fill the gaps every human has, whether physical, mental, or economically. I can't help but think we are in a golden age of accessibility with AI. Think the internet before advertisements, propaganda, and data harvesting ruined it all. My goal is to put these insanely great innovations to use for us all.


Privacy and Security

These two are married, you can't have one without the other. I build zero trust systems, designed to paranoid, so you don't have to. No one should ever fear technology, and technology should be built to protect the most important thing. It's users.


Transparency

People fear what they don't understand, that's a big issue with the anti-AI crowd. I will provide completely transparent work, diving as deep as you'd like. However, feel free to tell me to shut up at any point if I start sounding like Charlie from Always Sunny.


Efficiency

I take the long way around, and never cut corners. I won't 'vibe code' you slop. I will build you a scalable prototype that is easy for your future employees, whether human or AI, to pickup the batton and sprint through that finish line


How it is built

One Go program using nothing but the Go standard library. No framework, no package manager, no build tool, and nothing downloaded from the internet to build it. It renders plain HTML out of a handful of JSON files, serves the result itself, and compiles to a single file I copy to the tablet. The look is a small design system I made for this site alone, borrowed from the carbonless triplicate forms that repair shops run on.


License

The code is MIT licensed. If you want a site like this for your own business, steal the setup: it is small enough to read in an afternoon, and I would rather you own your site than rent it. Questions? Shoot me an email. Let’s get into the weeds.
