INDEPENDENT BUILDER · MIAMI, FL
I’m Otniel. I build AI products, connect systems,
and follow ideas into unfamiliar territory.
A LITTLE CONTEXT
Account management. AI receptionists. A pixel companion. A chip under the skin. Different forms of the same question: what could this become?
SELECTED WORK / 01—05
Business tools.
Personal experiments.
Things I wanted to exist.
An account manager bot I built for Commas. Bringing AI into the day-to-day work of supporting a business account.
THE FOCUS
Account management,
with AI in the workflow.
Built at the intersection of account operations, software, and customer support.
My company, building AI receptionists for service businesses. The focus is straightforward: answer the call, understand the request, and help the owner follow up.
The current development focus is HVAC intake and appointment booking.
A pixel office for coding agents. Repositories become office suites, sessions become rooms, and subagents get desks—so you can see what’s happening across your work.
The interface reflects actual Claude Code events: who’s working, who needs input, and what has finished. It runs locally.
“Let it breathe.”A LITTLE PRESENCE.A little Rick-inspired companion for your desktop. He thinks while Claude Code thinks, looks up when it needs you, and nods when the work is done.
I built the native app, pixel animations, and connection to Claude Code. There’s a guided breathing pause, too.
NExT v2 / PERSONAL EXPERIMENT THE INTERNET, AT HAND.This website is connected to the NExT v2 implant in my hand. It’s a personal experiment in making the digital world a little more physical. A conversation can become a connection, with a tap.
THE HARDWARE
NFC + RFID.
Under the skin.
The NExT v2 combines NFC, low-frequency RFID, and an LED in a small implant.
About the implant ↗BUILT BY ME. HERE FOR YOU.
Rick knows the projects, the backstory, and when to give me a hard time.
My work starts with the things people repeat: answering a question, connecting two systems, following up on a request. I’m interested in how much of that friction software can take away.
At Commas, my work sits around account management, APIs, and payments. Outside of that, I’m building Desklify and exploring the overlap between software and physical tools.
YOUR NEXT IDEA STARTS HERE
I’m open to consulting, integration projects, and thoughtful collaborations. Tell me what you’re working on and where it gets difficult.
