Work

What I ship.

Philosophy

What I believe.

01

Niche markets are not small markets.

The CNC woodworker, the Zigbee home automator, the cabinet maker — these aren't edge cases. They're underserved, loyal, and willing to pay for software that actually understands their problem.

02

Ship before you're ready.

A rough v1 live beats a perfect v2 on a roadmap every time. Real users surface problems no amount of planning reveals.

03

AI is infrastructure, not a product.

The products that win will be the ones where AI is invisible — handling the hard parts, staying out of the way for the rest.

04

Technical depth is a moat.

The closer you get to the real workflow — the shop floor, the field, the lab — the harder you are to copy. Surface-level tools get commoditized. Deep tools don't.

05

The best distribution is a solved problem.

If the product solves a specific, painful, real problem, the people who have that problem will find each other and share it. That's the flywheel.

Writing

Recent thinking.
