Ambitious software, shaped with taste and discipline.

I’m drawn to things that are difficult to get right — things that ask for precision, good judgment, and the patience to refine complexity into something clear, durable, and unmistakably human.

In progress

Prototype

A focused intake flow that keeps working directories clean and predictable.

Constraints: no background services, reversible actions, small surface area.

Decisions: rules-first routing, verbose audit trail, local-only operation.
