Each one’s a live show — I build with the exact tools on stage.
Bring a real decision and we work it live, on stage. Which software should you actually use? — answered from a researched library, not a hunch. A hard business-or-life call? — run through several decision-theory frameworks at once. You don’t watch a demo; you take part, and walk out with a real answer.

What happens when the thing you do for a living becomes free? A storytelling keynote on reinvention — building a new craft with the same technology that dissolved the old one, and the people who get you through the in-between. (The full talk is the video at the top.)

Roll the dice on a random Wikipedia page and watch it become a working database — live: schema, data, an ER diagram, an API, and an MCP server you can then talk to in plain English. Even renaming a table without dropping it — done safely, with a real testable mechanism, not a hope.

Working software I’ve built with AI — and demo live, on stage.
tables like water. From natural language into working databases — no expertise required.
it will have been done. Conversational task management — AI builds your projects, tasks, views, and kanban.
send your agent. A searchable library of 230+ software research surveys — memory vs. library, with citations.
Business has atomized — you’re running a whole company by yourself, expected to be a specialist in a dozen fields at once. I’m not B2B; I’m A2A — atom to atom. One session gets you a decision: a written recommendation for your actual stack, backed by a researched software library. A full workup, not a hunch.
