Different materials, same craft.
Systems work at the intersection of marketing operations, AI products, and the humanistic education that came first.
My day job is leading client success and growth at AutoBoost, a digital marketing agency for auto repair shops in Pennsylvania: 400+ clients, real retention numbers, real operating constraints. On my own time I'm building DailyChew under Long Game Studios: a personalized daily audio product with a LangGraph pipeline and per-user memory that compounds over time.
I got a humanistic education first and built the technical fluency on top of it. I studied English and Chinese Literatures at UW–Madison, including classical Chinese, managed a housing and financial counseling team in Lancaster, and retrained at App Academy. The nonprofit years permanently broke my tolerance for abstract, performative work.
My wife Sami and I got married in June. DailyChew is in private TestFlight on iOS. I'm also a co-founder of Fairstay Health, a Wisconsin physician-reviewed lease-exit service (screening first; not live yet). I build systems that get more valuable over time: a client success pipeline at AutoBoost, a temporal knowledge graph for DailyChew, a personal wiki maintained by Claude Code.
