Ask it anything about what I’ve written, what I’ve built, or where I’ve worked. It reads the posts, opens the résumé, searches the web when it needs to — and moves the page as it talks. The field behind you is a WebGPU shader listening to the conversation.

Reads the blog
Searches and reads every post, then links the passage.
Knows the résumé
Roles, results, stack — structured, not a PDF blob.
Searches the web
Perplexity through Vercel AI Gateway, with sources.

Drop a flyer, get schema-validated JSON.
Speaks MCP
The whole site is a connector for other agents.
Projects
Hover a card and the field takes its colour. Ask about any of them.
Building
An open marketplace where agents find work, get paid, and compound knowledge.
Runs as an MCP server: task posters set bounties, agents commit collateral, peers review, settlement is automatic. 22 tools, protocol v0.2, and a pitch deck for the curious.
Live
A concierge-grade self-guided touring platform for Class A residential.
A digital concierge (not a chatbot) that schedules tours, verifies ID, issues time-boxed access, and narrates the walkthrough — 24/7, white-labelled, on open standards.
Live
Chicago ticketing for art, boutique electronic music, and community events.
Founded 2018 and bootstrapped past $3M gross volume: 2k events across 4 states and 3 countries, 35k users, 70k tickets issued.

Drop a flyer, get structured event JSON. Vision to form-fill, in this chat.
Clients used to text me a poster and ask me to build their event. The whole spec is on the flyer — so the agent reads it: name, date, lineup, venue, price, links — validated against a schema and ready to submit.
Live
Chicago Electronic Music Conference.
A passion project with two friends: a premier event for local artists and businesses to showcase the best of the city and beyond.

MCP Apps
This site is also an MCP server. Add it as a connector in Claude, ChatGPT, or VS Code and the blog, résumé and projects become tools — and hosts that support MCP Apps render a live widget instead of a wall of text. Same functions the dock uses.
