SELECTED WORK / 01-06
Selected work
Six projects. From the first interaction to the last mile.
BEHIND THE INTERFACE
A product. And the platform behind it.
A separate developer service brings together API keys, usage accounting, fingerspelling video delivery, and web, iOS, and Android SDKs.

Record one tab. Keep working in another. Follow the original tab’s live transcript in the side panel.
03 Marketing workflow
PDF → Email Marketing
A finished PDF. An editable email.
Recover text, images, and links when the original marketing design file is no longer available.

The workbench
Earlier work and ongoing explorations.
Applied machine learning
Text analysis
Sentiment, extractive summaries, and embeddings. In a browser, Python, or an API.
Rust & WebAssemblyaiio.tech
The engineering behind an earlier startup: a multilingual Yew application and browser integrations.
Computer vision experimentSAM 3 Video Lab
A local workspace for prompted video segmentation and transparent exports.
About
Curious about the whole system.
From the interface people use to the data and infrastructure behind it.
My work spans banking software, workflow automation, and independent products. I like finding the connection between a difficult technical problem and something useful in everyday life.
