Featured Projects
The industrial OS for maintenance. LOOP AI assistant, knowledge base ingestion, offline-first mobile app, and equipment tracking — built for operators who can't afford downtime.
Hierarchies suppress honest input. NotOnRecord gives teams a safe channel for the truth — structured anonymous communication for meetings, governance, and real decisions.
From problem identification to prototyping to manufacturing exploration and patent filing — a case study in physical product engineering applied to straw ergonomics.
AI-operated patriotic apparel e-commerce brand. Automated product creation, fulfillment, and marketing — built to run lean and scale fast.
Automated short-form video generation and distribution. AI-driven content pipelines optimized for algorithmic reach across social platforms.
Personalized AI companion platform. Context-aware, character-driven interactions built on top of modern LLM infrastructure.
Real-time leaderboards tracking AI agent performance across tasks, models, and use cases. Infrastructure for the autonomous agent economy.
Marketplace for programmatic OOH ad placement. Bringing digital advertising efficiency — real-time bidding, targeting, analytics — to physical billboard inventory.
Token issuance and community platform at the intersection of AI and crypto. Built for the next wave of on-chain incentive models.
Mobile and web app serving MEBA union members. Job boards, contract info, benefits tracking, and communication tools for working mariners.
Multi-agent orchestration and workflow binding. Infrastructure for coordinating fleets of specialized AI agents across tasks and domains.
AI-curated news briefings. Automated ingestion, summarization, and delivery of high-signal news across topics — cuts the noise, keeps the signal.
Dating platform built around AI-generated digital twins. Match with the real person, get to know them through their AI first — reducing friction and filtering mismatches.
Maritime STEM content for kids through systems thinking and storytelling. Building the next generation of engineers who understand how ships — and systems — actually work.
AI-driven investment research and capital allocation platform. Tailored portfolio intelligence built on real-time data ingestion and autonomous analysis.
Autonomous security operations for the AI-native era. Continuous threat monitoring, vulnerability scanning, and incident response — run by AI, supervised by humans.
