The central hub for my work as a senior AI-native engineer, systems thinker, and technical thought leader. This isn't just a portfolio — it's a living artifact of my engineering philosophy, powered by my evolving AI system: Brain Garden.
This site is more than a showcase — it's a working demonstration of AI-assisted development in action. Every feature, animation, prompt system, and page structure is part of an ecosystem I use to:
- Codify and test new development patterns
- Share strategic systems for AI-driven engineering teams
- Reinforce my identity as a Full-Stack Business Person who builds tools, stories, and systems
One of the site’s flagship features is a custom dual-mode audio player:
- Narrated Pages: Every major section of the site includes a spoken narration — human-paced, professionally voiced.
- Dual Toggle: Users can swap between narrative audio and ambient music on any page.
- Seamless Playback: Intelligent caching and playback continuity across pages.
This isn't just an accessibility feature — it's a statement about the future of multimodal interfaces.
"Brain Garden" is my system for evolving AI-assisted software development.
- A place to store and share rules, prompts, and knowledge breakthroughs
- A portable, fast-loading system that amplifies my performance on every project
- A shared mental workspace that any team I work with inherits instantly
Hiring me means inheriting Brain Garden — and everything I’ve learned from the frontier.
This site demonstrates my core principles:
- Code should narrate itself — clarity, intention, and purpose matter.
- AI isn’t magic — it's leverage. Tools must adapt to humans, not the other way around.
- Systems > Scripts — even small features should slot into a broader design logic.
- Next.js + TypeScript (full SSR/ISR support)
- Mantine UI + theme/design tokens
- Styled-Components
- Framer Motion for subtle, layered animation
- Vercel for blazing-fast deploys
- Custom audio playback engine (React Context + Web Audio API)
The site itself was built using the same agent-assisted development principles I write about. Many of the prompts and workflows used in building this site were developed inside my Brain Garden system — which evolves alongside me to support rapid prototyping, narration scripting, and iterative refinement.
- Narration was generated using Speechify + voice cloning trained on my voice.
- Scripts are managed in structured markdown, allowing fast iteration, segment re-recording, and rebalancing narration/music dynamics.
This portfolio isn’t just about the projects I’ve done — it’s a demonstration of my approach:
- Developer tooling built to evolve
- Storytelling merged with interface design
- AI-powered workflows that don’t just produce, but amplify
If you’re evaluating me for a role or consulting opportunity, this repo pairs well with:
You're looking at my flagship personal site — not a playground, but a polished demonstration of what it means to be a modern full-stack engineer who thinks like a systems architect and moves like a startup founder.
It contains:
- Modular component systems
- Audio control logic
- Advanced layout structure
- Voice-ready content workflows
- Live embedded AI philosophies
If you're a:
- CTO evaluating a senior engineer with strong AI instincts
- Engineering lead looking to scale your dev team’s capabilities with AI
- Recruiter seeking a builder who builds systems that build systems
Then this site — and this repo — is for you.
- Prove out design, dev, and content capabilities in one artifact
- Act as the gateway to deeper materials (whitepapers, talks, demos)
- Show — not just tell — how I work and how I lead
