Projects
A timeline of projects I've built, led, and poured myself into, from audio tools to creator platforms to music study around the world.

Pioneer Species·FounderAI engineering intensives. Hands-on programs designed to rapidly develop practical AI engineering skills through immersive, focused learning sprints.
IRL (Intensive Recreational Learning)·InstigatorA semi-secret society where close friends co-live for 72 hours to acquire highly specific, delightfully nerdy practical skills. Topics range from the bureaucratic dark arts to jhana engineering.
Un Poco de Planning·InstigatorAnnual New Year's life mapping retreats for close friends. A dedicated space to reflect on the past year and intentionally design the year ahead.
PodClear
The simplest way to record remote interviews with pristine audio quality. Completely browser-based, PodClear recorded separate lossless tracks for each person on a call and provided a mixed track for quick publishing. Acquired by Monkey Inferno in 2015.
One Language One Poster
Consolidated the 1,500 most common Chinese characters onto a single poster for rapid learning. Created while living in Yunnan, China, and sold in second- and third-tier Chinese language schools across the country. My first real business.
