I work where software meets the everyday:
managing an account, answering a call,
or keeping track of what your agents are doing.

Basis

An account manager bot for Commas.

/01

Commas · AI account management

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.

Desklify

AI receptionists for service businesses.

/02

Founder · AI receptionist company

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.

The receptionist workflow

  1. 01Answer an incoming call
  2. 02Capture the caller’s service request
  3. 03Book an eligible appointment or take a message

Agentopolis

A visible workspace for coding agents.

/03

Open source · Developer tools

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.

A visual language for agent activity

  1. A repository becomes an office suite
  2. A subagent gets a desk
  3. A raised hand means it needs you
  4. Completed tests and commits earn a celebration

Rubin Buddy

A native macOS companion with personality.

/04

Open source · Native macOS app

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

A physical connection to this website.

/05

Personal experiment · Hardware

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.

THE INTERACTIVE INTRODUCTION

Meet Rick.

My pixel companion can answer questions about my projects, explain where I could help, and occasionally make fun of me.

A builder, close
to the problem.

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.
