Current focus: designing, building, and operating purpose-built applications for business by leveraging large language models to work at a pace that was previously impossible for a solo developer.
Active ventures include Tenzo Books (agentic accounting for SMBs), Tenzo Studios (photo commerce), and Snug Harbor Logistics (IoT monitoring).
Provided maintenance, renovation, and construction services to the multifamily residential real estate market. Clients were property management companies with large portfolios of apartment complexes.
Completed over $23 million in projects across more than a dozen states over ten years. Typical work included roofing, siding, painting, concrete, carpentry, HVAC, and interior renovation.

15 employees produced and shipped over 500,000 imprinted garments per year for companies including American Airlines, HBO, Starbucks, World Wildlife Fund, Exxon, and Texas Instruments.
An emphasis on continuous process improvement and automation of production, scheduling, and shipping yielded above-average efficiencies as measured by gross profit per employee within the industry.
