What I Build
Workflow Tools for Creatives
Small, purpose-built tools that remove friction in the post-production pipeline—things like batch renamers, automated transcode presets, and FFmpeg-powered utilities for audio and video.
Web Apps & Prototypes
Lightweight browser-based apps that run anywhere: audio recorders, visualizers, review tools, simple dashboards, and interactive utilities to support production and marketing teams.
AI & Automation Experiments
Integrations that use LLMs and other AI tools to help with tasks like rough-cut planning, asset tagging, metadata cleanup, prompt libraries, and content ideation—always with a focus on staying practical and usable in a real-world workflow.
Developer-Friendly Utilities
Tools and scripts that bridge the gap between “artist” and “engineer,” whether that’s wiring FFmpeg into a simple UI, building API-driven micro-tools, or prototyping new ideas for creative platforms.
How I Work
Problem-first, not tool-first – We start with the pain point: what’s slow, repetitive, or fragile in your current workflow.
Prototype quickly – I like to get something clickable in front of you as soon as possible and iterate from there.
Design for real users – Simple, obvious interfaces. Clear states. No “mystery buttons.”
Respect existing pipelines – I’d rather integrate with what your team already uses than force a complete overhaul.
Tech & Tools
I typically work with:
Web: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React
Backend / Data: Firebase, Supabase, lightweight APIs
Media: FFmpeg, browser audio APIs, basic WebGL / canvas when needed
AI / Automation: ChatGPT-style LLMs, prompt systems, and workflow integrations
Let’s Build Something Useful
If you’re a creative team, producer, or studio that feels like your tools haven’t quite caught up to your ideas, I’d love to help.
Whether you need a simple web app, a custom FFmpeg tool, or an AI-assisted workflow tailored to your pipeline, let’s talk about what’s slowing you down—and build something that fixes it.
