2026 – present
Founder & AI / Full-Stack Engineer at
Digital Surface Labs
I build and run AI products, from the web interface to the APIs and infrastructure behind it.
Digital Surface connects email, documents, and screen and audio history to a personal AI workspace.
Claims Genie turns receipts and documents into potential claim matches and guided review workflows.
My work spans React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, LLM integrations, retrieval, and agents that use tools with human approval. I use Claude and Codex throughout development, then review the changes, test the flows, and operate the products in production.
