In November 2025 I got curious. How much can one person build with modern AI tools? What’s the limit? It turned a hobby into technology that Adobe adopted internally. In 2026 I was asked to join the Adobe AI Center of Excellence and tasked with building systems that Adobe couldn’t dedicate the engineering talent toward. Below are some of the things I’ve built: an AI that joins video calls as a domain expert, agents that live in Slack, and a debate app on the App Store (that one was for fun, so feel free to download it).

AI systems.
-
Warroom
liveTurns a 3,600-account sales territory into a three-minute executive briefing: search, map view, one-click AI reports. Best on desktop.
-
Training Engine
liveA complete partner-training portal for a fictional enterprise: AI-generated curriculum, 18 pages, narrated audio lessons.
-
Intake IQ
liveA lead-intelligence dashboard for a multi-location business. AI scores and analyzes every inbound call and contact form, then ranks which locations are getting the best leads. Best on desktop.
-
Hermes
demoAn AI that joins Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams as an actual participant. It listens, thinks, and talks back in real time. Built in about two hours.
-
AI Agent Builder
liveNo-code builder for custom chatbots. Define the persona and knowledge, get a working agent.
-
Slack Agent
liveAn AI agent that lives in your Slack. Ask about live operational data in plain English and it reads the answer back out loud.
-
Areopagus
liveThree AI jurors named Claudius, Socrates, and Prometheus debate your hardest questions, challenge you and each other, and forge a consensus or declare a hung jury. Shipped to the iOS App Store.
Real-time graphics.
A different kind of build: physics running on the GPU rather than AI systems. Light bent around a black hole, every tracked satellite in low Earth orbit, and an ocean solved from wave equations. Same method as everything above: I direct the build, then find what the agent got wrong. All three are best on desktop.
-
Event Horizon
liveA Schwarzschild black hole raytraced in real time. Every pixel integrates a null geodesic through curved spacetime, so the accretion disk visible above and below the shadow is light that was actually bent around the back of the hole, not a texture.
-
Orbit Veil
liveEvery tracked object in low Earth orbit, all 16,071 of them, propagated through real SGP4 in a background worker. Search any satellite by name or NORAD ID, warp time to 600×, and watch the Fengyun-1C and Iridium-33 debris fields drift as their own layers.
-
Open Sea
liveAn ocean built from five superimposed Gerstner wave trains, with foam and subsurface scattering that respond to sea state and sun angle. Written in Three.js TSL and rendered on WebGPU. Needs Chrome, Edge, Safari 26+, or Firefox 141+.
