Ideas into useful software.

I use prompts, new models and AI-assisted development to turn rough ideas into practical applications, experiments and websites.

Learning by making

Selected build

A place for the work to grow.

Starting with something honest: the site you are looking at, and the thinking behind its current iteration.

Active investigations

On the bench.

Prompt systems

Clearer instructions. Better results.

Testing ways to make prompts more deliberate, repeatable and easier to evaluate.

Application building

Ideas made tangible.

Using AI-assisted development to move quickly from a rough thought to a working interface.

Model field notes

A practical record of change.

Keeping track of what improves, what breaks and what becomes possible as new tools arrive.

Ideas into working things

How I work

A practical approach to digital work.

I try to understand the real problem, make a useful version early, test what changes and keep a clear record of what I learn.

  1. Understand first

    Clarify the problem, the constraints and the desired result before reaching for tools.

  2. Make it real early

    A working version reveals more than a perfect plan. Build, test and refine from evidence.

  3. Leave a useful record

    Good work should be understandable by the next person—and by your future self.

Have an idea worth testing?

I’m always interested in thoughtful tools, unusual problems and conversations about where AI becomes genuinely useful.
