Building
Work Stack — used daily to keep goals, tasks, and work records connected. Improving installation, reliability, and the path back into a task. Early recommendations to others exposed how tiring setup friction and prototype defects can be.
Stackbite — turning work from Work Stack into manageable units of execution for role-based CLI agent teams. A CLI/SDK connection exists; a direct task-to-team workflow is the next goal.
These efforts run in parallel. I have a project-specific orchestrator for each workstream and periodically guide them as their agents move the work forward.
AI Study Room — starting a small group for people who find it hard to begin using AI. October 8 is the first scheduled online meeting: an orientation to explore possibilities and hear what participants want to try. Their feedback will shape a shared practice topic.
From the following week, the plan is to spend about 20 minutes of each meeting in prepared browser sandboxes with practice materials. The goal is a first experience of making something happen with AI and finding it approachable. The group currently starts with acquaintances; a broader format with shared practice costs is a possibility I am considering.

Exploring
- Work context that survives a change of agent or session
- Making it easier to return to scattered personal projects
- Agent-assisted development guided by product concepts and HTML mockups
- Open-source tools adapted to everyday workflows

Connect Work Stack’s planning and records with Stackbite’s execution flow. Over time, bring the two together as part of the original Conduit vision.
The broader goal is to release a useful product that addresses a real pain point and learn from people using it.
Open to
Tool feedback, conversations about AI and software, and teaming up for hackathons. I am especially interested in people with thoughtful product philosophy, an eye for real pain points, and inventive solutions. I bring problem definition and AI-assisted implementation to the collaboration. LinkedIn and email are the easiest ways to get in touch.
