Available for remote work worldwide
I'm an AI engineer and full-stack developer building tools for gamers, people with ADHD, depression, and addictive personalities — meeting them in their world instead of asking them to change channels.
Self-taught. Fully remote. Published author. No degree — just shipped software, a published book edited by a clinical psychologist, and 7+ years of applied psychology research.
Where it started
My first job in tech was at Black Box VR — a VR fitness game startup in Las Vegas founded by Ryan DeLuca (the guy who built Bodybuilding.com into a $500M company from 20 years old) and Preston Lewis. The pitch was simple and kind of brilliant: what if a workout was actually a video game? People pushed themselves harder than they ever would in a gym because they were too busy fighting for their lives in VR to realize they were exercising.
That's when the question clicked: what if everything hard in life felt like a game worth playing? Everything I've built since — Life MMO, osu!friends, the book — is an attempt to answer that.
I even danced with DeLuca's wife at the company party while I was making minimum wage...
Felt like a king. 💪
Everything I build connects to the same mission: tools that meet people in their world and help them build better lives.
What if your real life had a quest log, a talent tree, and a life coach that actually understood your worldview? Life MMO gamifies real-life values, habits, and goals using Acceptance & Commitment Therapy psychology and cross-worldview wisdom (Stoicism, Buddhism, Taoism, and more). I'm the sole engineer on the full stack — 6 AI subsystems, a custom RAG pipeline over an Obsidian knowledge vault, and a Unity Game Engine roguelike dungeon that only unlocks after you complete your real-life daily habits.
Competitive gaming can be isolating. osu!friends gives players rivals, tournaments, and community — without leaving the game. Automated score-sniping notifications fire directly inside osu! when a rival beats your score. A full tournament matchmaking engine handles pairing, map pool voting, and in-game lobby invites automatically. Shipped from zero to live in 7 days.
Open to remote roles in AI engineering, prompt engineering, RLHF evaluation, AI game design, health gaming, and AI product work. Also open to marketing roles that align with my mission. Available for freelance and contract.
