For fun, he creates things like this:
Should I Stay or Should I Go?
An experimental AI relationship analyzer to help with breakup decisions (RIP)
Over two years, 200,000+ people completed the free relationship assessment and 3,500 paid for the AI analysis. Built and run solo, refined through dozens of A/B tests, with anonymized assessment data used to retrain the model.
An iOS app for making photo collages
Uses Apple's Vision framework to cut out people and objects from your photos and places them on an editable canvas. Works entirely on the device. No account, no cloud, no subscription.
An IDE extension for commenting on Markdown files as feedback to AI agents
Add comments throughout your Markdown files, then copy them all at once in a structured format to hand to an AI coding agent. Open source on GitHub.
An iOS camera app that organizes videos into Tapes as you shoot
Create Tapes, shoot videos directly into them, watch smoothly and export Tapes effortlessly. Launched May 2025 and growing with no paid acquisition.
An iOS clock app that bends the clockface to match how you experience time
Drag any hour to stretch or compress it. Named after Bergson’s concept of duration, la durée. Built entirely with Claude Code.
A stripped-down Spotify player for saved albums only
Inspired by Rob of High Fidelity, a Spotify player that shows only saved albums, with big covers and no distractions. Sort them again and again alphabetically, chronologically, or autobiographically like Rob. Built in one afternoon.
A virtual sommelier recommending wines on Instagram
Recommends wines the way he picks his own. An early experiment in conversational product design.
AR filters for Instagram. Two won awards from Meta
Experiments in augmented reality, treating the camera as an expressive surface instead of a capture tool.
A concept bed that separates sleeping partners gently
Two people fall asleep cuddling, then the surfaces drift apart to absorb movement so neither one wakes the other. Obviously stayed a concept.
A data visualization of Santa Monica's tides
A full year of Santa Monica's high and low tides. NOAA data turned into a natural rhythm worth looking at daily. It ran as an Instagram story highlight.
A data visualization of daylight hours across cities
Charts the daylight in the cities that matter to him, a rhythm people live but rarely see drawn out. Another Instagram story highlight.
A concept video exploring consent before a photo is taken
The subject, not the photographer, decides whether a photo can be taken. Meant to surface a question, not ship.
A data visualization of personality traits and kebab choices
A 2017 Milan Design Week data visualization investigating whether personality traits correlate with kebab choices. 400 respondents, eight correlations, displayed inside the kebab shop itself.
