The Rules We Wrote for the Agent, Not the Human
Pixelkiln ships a second set of instructions now, not for you, for whatever’s driving the CLI on your behalf. Here’s what it won’t let an agent do, and where else it lives.
A selection of recent work across web, interactive media, audio, and physical computing.
Pixelkiln is a manifest-driven CLI for bulk-generating pixel art through PixelLab’s API. A lockfile tracks exactly what you paid for and where it went, the way a package manager tracks dependencies.

14 years activeNotes on building software, working with teams, and what I'm learning.
Beyond full-stack engineering, I've worn a few other hats along the way.
Guiding cross-functional teams from kickoff to ship — setting direction, unblocking work, and keeping momentum without losing sight of the people doing it.
Turning fuzzy ideas into a roadmap worth building — prioritizing ruthlessly, writing specs that hold up, and keeping the vision honest as things change.
Keeping complex builds on schedule — tracking dependencies, managing risk, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks between teams.
Shaping how software looks, feels, and works — from early wireframes to shipped pixels, with an eye for the details that make an interface trustworthy.
Drop a line — a project pitch, a question, or just to say hi.
