I'm a Senior Consultant at EY Studio+ in Chicago, working where product delivery, cloud reliability, quality engineering, and applied AI meet. I've helped ship a retail platform across 100+ locations, supported a federal cloud implementation with zero audit findings, and built the observability and release practices that let enterprise teams deploy without a group chat full of prayers.
Outside client work, I design and ship open-source product systems in Swift, Rust, Python, and TypeScript. Each starts with a messy decision or workflow — finishing a document, understanding a portfolio, preparing a trip, learning a codebase — and turns it into something people can inspect, act on, and keep. I care about the unglamorous part that starts where the demo ends: failure handling, documentation, installers, updates, and evidence that the thing actually works.
Each product takes a fragmented workflow and gives it a clear end state: one finished document, a reviewable portfolio decision, a forecast with a track record, a trip-ready brief, a codebase you can explain, or a learning practice that survives the app.

A native macOS workspace that takes a pile of PDFs, scans, images, and office files through repair, organization, OCR, editing, review, signing, protection, and export — without bouncing between specialist tools. Fifty messy files in. One finished document out.
|
A portfolio decision cockpit that combines holdings, live prices, risk math, market regime, news, and SEC context into plain Hold / Add / Trim / Exit calls, prioritized actions, and reviewable DCA steps. Most trackers stop at the number. FolioOrb shows what deserves attention next.

An accountable football forecasting workbench where model voices show their evidence, predictions are sealed before kickoff, and results build a visible forward track record and calibration history. Predictions are sealed before kickoff, so hindsight can't quietly improve them.
|
A trip-readiness workspace that turns reservation evidence, official advice, weather, saved places, and traveler-authored plans into conflicts to resolve, an offline Today view, and a redacted brief worth sharing. Planning ends in a reviewed handoff, not seventeen open tabs.
|
|
A code-learning game that maps real Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript projects into a parser-proven galaxy, then makes learners study source, follow relationships, and pass graph-derived checks to light it up. It turns a codebase into a game you can win only by understanding it.
|
A learning workspace that turns curricula and source material into a living system: a checkable roadmap, today's next objective, durable notes, dated progress, and a knowledge graph that follows Obsidian-style links. Not another course catalog — a place to turn what you want to learn into a practice you can continue.

| Principle | What it means in practice | |
|---|---|---|
| 🎯 | Outcome before feature | Start with the job someone needs to finish, then make every screen move that work forward. |
| 🧭 | Make reasoning inspectable | Preserve sources, calculations, provenance, and history so an answer can be challenged instead of merely trusted. |
| 🗃️ | Users own the artifact | Prefer durable formats, reversible changes, and deliberate sharing when the work or data is personal. |
| 🧪 | Quality is architecture | Design for observability, failure modes, testability, and releases that don't need a hero. |
| 📦 | Ship the whole product | Docs, installers, updates, demos, and release automation. Source code is the easy half. |
Chosen per problem, not per hype cycle.
