Building
Turning ant.cat into something that breathes... migrating 20 years of writing from WordPress and building small AI-powered experiments in public. The experiments page is where the new work lives: currently hacking on Three.js shaders, volumetric CRT projection beams, and how local LLMs and agent frameworks fit into everyday product prototyping.
By day, leading product strategy for enterprise workforce platforms at LotusOne / Aya Healthcare.

Uggg, struggle bus here. The stack keeps getting higher but not taking the time I should.
Thinking about
What it means to build software when it's become as easy as a prompt and it's as simple as an email or Excel file. Most software is designed for recurring use: retention, habit, the returning user. But some of the most meaningful and helpful things only happen once.
Always: time perception and the half-life of knowledge. Once you pass your 32nd doubling, cumulative value matters far more than urgent friction. Software should help us feel more creative and more human without anything more.
Life
Based in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Loving my partner, Samantha, and life. Keeping up with my 5yr old daughter and navigating kindergarten milestones. Pretend to be a surfer when the swell cooperates, daily workouts, and keeping my 1997 Jeep TJ running clean. Learning upright bass, focusing on finger plucking rhythm and walking jazz blues lines. Finding that the best ideas still come from building things vs what if'ing them to death.
