Work with me: The Build Session
A working session where I sit with you, find one real problem in your business or your virtual-world presence, and leave you with something working by the end. Not a report - a fix you can use tomorrow, shipped open source, while your data stays yours.
One fix, ~45 min live. The deeper you are in the community, the more this is just what we do.
One fix plus a short follow-up. Sliding rate, no shame floor - nobody local gets priced out.
One fix, a written recap, and one follow-up. Priority within the week.
Two or more fixes or a deeper build, priority scheduling, more of the agent fleet, and an on-ramp to a retainer. The boost rate funds the free tier.
Inclusion at the floor, boost at the ceiling. Everyone gets in; capital accelerates - and pays for the free work. You always leave with something working.
Open-source work
Everything is built in the open and kept forkable. A few of the 80+ repos - the full set is on GitHub.
Sparkz
Farcaster-native identity and backing layer on Base - start with a spark, not a token.

Zlank
No-code Farcaster Snap builder - stack blocks, hit deploy, share to feed.
ZOL
Farcaster music scout bot that discovers and vets music in real time.
Farscout
Free autonomous Farcaster research scout - tracks ecosystem activity and signals.
ZAO Claude Skills
Hand-written Claude Code skills for the ZAO ecosystem - sync into your own stack.
The short version
I build the AI-agent infrastructure and creator tools that put margin, data, and IP back in independent artists’ hands. Electrical engineer by training, building in public out of Maine.
