10+ years as an AV professional running live events — sound, video, and lighting for conferences, concerts, and broadcasts. That trade taught me to ship under real-time pressure with the equipment in front of me. No second takes. No vendor support.
Since early 2024 I’ve been building on an AI-native workflow as my daily operating environment — Claude Code + the Claude API + the modern generation stack as the medium I work in. Eighteen months in: ten live web platforms across education, music, publishing, nonprofit, and services, 900+ pages, 80+ unique educational worlds, a 118-song music catalog across 5 albums, an independent publishing imprint with the debut title LIVE on Amazon Kindle + KDP paperback + IngramSpark distribution, a service-business platform serving real customers (Beyond Clean Solutions + Coastal Connect), a federally-filed 501(c)(3) nonprofit (The Cultivation Foundation — Ohio Articles of Incorporation approved, IRS Form 1023-EZ filed 2026-07-15, board and bylaws in place), and a 4-entity business structure (3 LLCs + 1 nonprofit + 1 DBA) standing it all up.
The build is still in motion. New worlds, new platforms, new tools every week. This portfolio updates as the work ships.
What I bring to a team: solo-builder fluency (I can take a thing from concept to deployment without handoffs), multidisciplinary range (front-end, design, brand, audio, writing, IA), and operational discipline (every project documented, every script reusable, every decision logged in a memory system I built).
What I’m looking for: remote-first, long-term partnerships — founding-team roles, fractional architect engagements, embedded contracts, or full-time IC roles where the builder stays with the build. Education tech, creative-tools companies, indie media platforms, and small product teams are the natural fit. Less interested in ship-and-walk-away contract work; more interested in compounding on a product over time.
