Building one terminator at a time.

“The builder’s hat must be on; this is the era for everybody to try to build, try to think, and try to dream of what’s possible.”

— David Friedberg
Poor People App I’ve always heard that if you’re going to build an app, build something that solves a problem you’re having or that isn’t solved yet. The Poor People App is helping me care for my aging parents, and it’s just one of the many problems we’re solving.
Hard-E Hard-E is a digital employee. Connected to a company CRM, it can email, text, and learn. Special knowledge files, the ability to synthesize material costs, provide measurement and pricing data. Available hands-free in voice mode.
All Angles One of the most interactive websites we’re building is for an exterior remodeling company — aiming as close to future-proof as we can. Integrating interactive and educational forms, vision models to interpret customer photos of their homes, digesting and presenting intelligence for sales agents, and building AI agents with capabilities that allow for true digital–human collaboration.
Ethos Ethos is my first autonomous agent — built on Hermes. It coordinates care for my parents through a live OpenCare API, runs a video intelligence pipeline that turns YouTube into wiki-linked investment signals and more. Employee, volunteer, partner.

The Poor People App is being built around a principle of investment and community — things that are clearly missing, or being diminished at a rate that makes us all take a step back. Everyone has a family. Our goal is to help your families get care, navigate current technology, and coordinate community-based support using the same frontier technology that’s changing the world as we speak.

We also want the people who show up to provide that help to have experience — so we’re integrating retired military, law enforcement, fire, and EMS to lead the most important part of our mission: the safety of our users. The Sentinel Program is the trust infrastructure: retired professionals full of hard-won experience, eager to help their community, and finally, with the advent of our new coordination tools, in a position to do it at scale.

How I Got Here

I came into this sideways. I built and ran The Grillin Greek for over a decade — operations, customers, staff, systems, and a passion for community leadership and engagement. I learned what actually matters, and how important it is to stay healthy, and the hard lessons you endure when you don’t put your family and your belief in God first. From there it was art, then graphic design, then Unity game development and Python. By then the LLMs had arrived and everything accelerated.

The agents handle what agents handle well. I handle what still requires a human: the judgment calls, the vision, the question of whether a thing should exist at all.

The pattern holds whether you're coordinating elder care or field operations, running financial compliance or clinical intake, navigating a nonprofit's grant cycle or a contractor's job pipeline. The domain changes. The infrastructure doesn't.
