I build products people trust with the moments that matter.
Six years atZillow: AI document intelligence for high-stakes real estate paperwork.
Now a founder:En Route Luxe, a luxury travel advisory built on lifelong client relationships.
Also building: experiential stays worth traveling for.
All of it runs on an AI operating stack I build daily.
Judgment is how I think. Shipping is how I prove it.
My career has followed one thread: find the complexity people work around, and turn it into something they can build on. The lesson that shapes everything I build: the model is never the product. The evals, guardrails, and review systems that earn a professional's trust are the product.
The work, and the story behind it.

Stays that become the destination.
Places worth traveling for, designed with the same care as the trips. The market analysis and underwriting run on the same operating stack: one of the tools, not the point.







The operating stack, in public.
Agents draft. The human reviews. The architecture is shareable; the moat is not.

The AI operating stack behind En Route Luxe: Claude Code agents, custom skills, automated guardrails. Two production skills ship in full.
personal-os
One person, five workstreams, an AI virtual team. The map of what the systems actually run.
knowledge-base
A Karpathy-style LLM wiki in plain markdown: raw sources in, distilled linked pages out, integrity enforced by a deterministic linter.
A terminal trace: claude run itinerary-qa; checking closures, transfers, ticketing; 2 flags routed to human review.
Writing & curation.
“Building a luxury travel business clarified what AI-native product builders actually do.”
