technical product builder & ai solutions architect
I'm an AI product builder who trained as a systems engineer, a businessperson, and a classical painter. So I build tools that hold up, pay their way, and feel like someone cared.

The jar comes up out of the courtyard and onto the boards, where nothing is asked of it. For a while the low sun crosses the glass and goes all the way through. The one thing all day the light does not simply fall on.
the sun reaches the boards

AI intake for mental-health practices. After-hours inquiries were dying in voicemail, each lost client worth $1,800+. BuoyBots answers first, screens gently, books the consult, and refuses what it shouldn't touch. Zero prior API experience to live-and-deployed in one week.

A Vietnamese family-owned salon in Issaquah: 2,235 clients on the books, 68% of them one visit and gone. Built the marketing engine from nothing: AI-generated content, segmented email, Instagram & Facebook cadence, Google Business, and a win-back program aimed at 1,800+ lapsed clients to fill the quiet midweek chairs.

A solo therapy practice for men of color and Asian American adults, carried from discovery to launch: brand, UX, copy, and Webflow build. Designed so the scroll itself feels like therapy: one page, darkness to clarity. The engagement that seeded BuoyBots' first pilot.

A Portland nonprofit building micro-villages for unsheltered adults. Recovered the site from a former board member's control and rebuilt the failing donation flow in time for Give!Guide season, clearing the way for gifts as large as $20K to land. Monthly care keeps it healthy: updates, security, backups, and a report written for humans.
Seven years of client work, now focused on health & wellness practices: brand strategy through launch, and the growth retainers after. The agency has its own house; this one is the home.
BuoyBots: live, deployed, iterating with early mental-health practices.
