I build AI-powered software that automates the boring parts of running a business.

SaaS products, automation systems, and AI workflows — built in public, shipped for real businesses, and shared so you can build alongside me.

Building in public

From salon chair to shipping software

I didn't come from tech. I came from building a real business — and that's exactly why I build software that businesses actually need.

  1. Chapter one

    Built and ran my own salon

    Owned and operated a service business end to end — customers, sales, operations, hiring. Learned what actually makes a small business run (and what quietly drains it).

  2. The turn

    Saw what AI could do for businesses like mine

    Every repetitive task I used to do by hand was automatable. Nobody was building those tools for people like me — so I decided to become the person who does.

  3. All in

    Went full-time on technology

    Traded the salon for software. Coding daily, shipping projects, learning DevOps and cloud infrastructure, and documenting every step in public.

  4. Now

    Building AI products for small businesses

    Turning firsthand operational pain into SaaS and automation products — and sharing the wins, failures, and lessons as they happen.

Each platform gets its own side of the story.

Real products, real problems

Built from firsthand experience running a service business — here's what's on the workbench right now.

StudioOS AI

The opportunity
For beauty professionals, the bottleneck isn't getting clients — it's everything after the booking. Confirmations, reminders, follow-ups, and admin quietly eat the week.
What I'm building
An AI platform that runs the operational work behind every appointment — communication, scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups — automatically.

Built from experience

After spending years running a beauty business, I realized the biggest operational problems weren't happening in the treatment room — they were happening before and after every appointment. StudioOS AI is the software I wish I had.

  • TypeScript
  • AI Agents

LashVision AI — product preview

Grounded in practice

Years of consultations

AI tool • Private beta soon

LashVision AI

I spent years helping clients choose lash styles. The hardest part wasn't applying lashes — it was helping someone confidently picture the result before we ever started. LashVision AI is my attempt to solve that problem.
Built from experience
The opportunity
Clients struggle to picture the final result before a lash appointment — and mismatched expectations cost time, trust, and rework.
What I'm building
AI-powered visualization that lets artists and clients preview lash styles together, before the appointment ever starts.
