Artificial Integration
I bring complex systems together
and make them simple.
I've spent a decade making complex systems disappear behind simple experiences. Now I'm applying that same thinking to AI — helping people and organizations integrate it into real life with intention, not just ambition.
I've spent two decade integrating technologies that weren't designed to work together — AV systems, enterprise platforms, operational workflows that look clean on paper but fall apart the moment real people start using them. At Jydo, I made managing thousands of conference room devices simple — turning a complex operational challenge into an intuitive experience. At Blacktee, I recognized that the internal tools we built to simplify our own delivery could solve the same problem for others. At Avidex, I made complex enterprise AV systems simple to use and manage.
Now I'm focused on what I think is the most important integration challenge of our time: weaving AI into daily life and work so it makes people more capable — not more dependent.
Everyone's talking about Artificial Intelligence.
I'm focused on the integration.
Vision Before Tools
Start with what the experience should feel like for the person on the other end. The technology follows. When it works, you don't notice the tech at all — you just notice that things work.
Enable Don't Take Over
The best tools don't replace the work — they help you do the work better. A good jig doesn't cut the board for you. It just makes sure your cut lands true. AI should make the path clearer, not walk it for you.
Build It to Last
Patience over hype. Process over shortcuts. Something that holds together when life gets hard — not just something that demos well today. Good builds are made the same way good lives are: one intentional step at a time.
Building in the open.
Family Agent
Active BuildA home AI system designed around a single principle: help my kids build good habits, not do their work for them. The hardest design decisions have nothing to do with the tech.
Patina
Active BuildAI-powered tooling for design workflows — built to solve real problems, not add new ones. Part of an ongoing exploration into how AI can augment daily work without getting in the way.
The Sauna Build
GrowingA DIY sauna project and community documenting the intersection of building with your hands and building a life in recovery. One board at a time.
“The best integration is invisible. When it works, people don't notice the technology. They just notice that things work.”
Thinking out loud.
The foundation is poured. What it taught me about patience, mistakes, and doing things the hard way on purpose.
A zoning denial that turned out to be the best thing that happened to this project.
When the ground shifts — at work, in recovery, in a build — intention is the thing that keeps you standing.
Recovery isn't just about quitting something, it's about building something better in its place. For me, that has meant leaning into the people around me.
Six months sober. If you'd told me a year ago I'd be here, I wouldn't have believed you. This is the story behind the project — and behind the recovery.
Let's build something.
