Full-stack engineering powered by human creativity and AI leverage.

I bring 10 years of coding experience to end-to-end builds across frontend, backend, payments, and smart contracts. I pair the kind of creativity only a human can possess with the latest AI tools to orchestrate an army of AI agents that help me move faster and ship better software.

Title

Lovelacers

Logline

When a successful engineering executive's legacy is threatened by a young, effortlessly gifted coding prodigy, she orchestrates a high-stakes act of sabotage that spirals into a beautifully haunting exploration of cosmic fairness and the lengths one will go to give their life meaning.

Synopsis

Amanda Featherstone is a brilliant, meticulously controlled Senior Vice President of Engineering who has built her lavish Manhattan lifestyle on precision and relentless hard work. But her perfectly ordered world is thrown into chaos with the arrival of Tamsin DeBari, a 26-year-old self-taught coding prodigy. Tamsin is everything Amanda is not: chaotic, effortlessly gifted, and seemingly blessed with an unbreakable streak of cosmic luck. As Tamsin casually upends Amanda's complex architectural tech projects with infuriatingly simple solutions, a dark and bitter rivalry is ignited within their high-stakes firm.

What begins as a professional turf war quickly spirals into a dangerous psychological fixation. While Tamsin recklessly navigates her successes, surviving a totaled sports car without a scratch and effortlessly charming the company's elite executives, Amanda is consumed by a mounting, obsessive sense of profound unfairness. Driven by a desperate need to balance the cosmic scales, Amanda's jealousy begins to strip away her polished corporate veneer. The tension mounts as Amanda begins to blur the lines between professional ambition and covert personal sabotage.

Framed by the chilling reality of Amanda's present-day life as an inmate in an upstate New York prison, "Lovelacers" acts as a ticking-clock psychological thriller. Readers know from the very first page that Amanda's obsession will ultimately cost her everything, but the suspense lies in the devastating journey there. Set against the backdrop of an atmospheric corporate retreat in the Catskill Mountains, the narrative hurtles toward a fateful late-night confrontation at the edge of a roaring waterfall. It is a gripping exploration of ambition, privilege, and the terrifying lengths someone will go to when they believe the universe has cheated them.

Title

FlowBand

Logline

Haunted by a tragic past and a prophetic dream, a disillusioned tech worker accidentally collapses the global economy with a device that cures smartphone addiction, forcing her to pivot from corporate pariah to utopian architect in a battle for the future of human connection.

Synopsis

Sarah Fiore is an undervalued programmer drifting through a life of unfulfilled potential, secretly carrying the guilt of her best friend Julia's overdose decades ago. Her stagnant reality is shattered when a concussion triggers a vivid, otherworldly dream, fulfilling a prophecy Julia made the night before she died. Waking with a newfound clarity and a technical blueprint, Sarah recruits her estranged friends, Terri and Nicole, to build the "FlowBand," a wearable device designed to sever the modern compulsion for digital connectivity. Fueled by intuition rather than business strategy, Sarah's mesmerizing, intense salesmanship turns the device into a global phenomenon, liberating millions from their screens.

However, the FlowBand's massive success triggers unintended chaos. As people reclaim their attention, Big Tech revenues plummet, causing the stock market to crash and bifurcating society into two hostile camps: those who have "woken up" and those financially devastated by the collapse of the attention economy. While powerful corporate enemies launch legal and social attacks, Sarah finds herself increasingly alienated by her own high-status success. Realizing that disconnecting from the digital world was only half the battle, she rejects the trappings of wealth, symbolized by her choice of cheap water over luxury brands, and seeks a way to sustain a community that is both technologically advanced and spiritually grounded.

The journey leads Sarah to the Canadian wilderness, where a brush with the harsh realities of off-grid survival convinces her that humanity cannot simply regress to nature; it must power its way forward. After discovering a brilliant but discredited engineer with a prototype for a safe, small-scale fission reactor, Sarah gambles her fortune on a radical pivot. She moves to establish a self-sustaining eco-society powered by this new energy, setting the stage for an ultimate confrontation between her budding egalitarian utopia and a desperate, capitalist "Old World" that wants her technology but fears her ideology.
