Side projects, creative works, and products I'm building outside of my day job.
A design manifesto for the age of AI agents
A new discipline: going from concept to customer with AI agents as crew, not crutch. Seven principles, an eight-phase pipeline, and interactive tools. Built by one person with AI agents, practicing what it preaches.
Product studio powered by the Zero Vector methodology
The consulting practice of Zero Vector. Minimum viable businesses, not just minimum viable products: customer research, experience design, and production-grade engineering fused into a single engagement. Named after the Pasadena canyon where Jack Parsons built the rockets that became JPL.
A free, open curriculum for design-led engineering
The educational arm of Zero Vector: six levels from orientation to auteur, approach guides, a resource library, AI chat tutor, and progress tracking. Free. Always free. No paywalls, no premium tiers.
AI-powered story development for fiction writers
A story development platform that gives writers perfect recall of their own canon. RAG over your own books: ask your manuscript a question and it answers. Built by a published author who needed this for her own 400K+ word series.
Open-source RAG & context middleware for any LLM
A Game Genie for your AI stack. Labrador sits between your app and any model, injecting persistent memory, retrieved knowledge, and identity context before the request. MIT licensed, self-hosted, no vendor lock-in.
A sci-fi espionage adventure series
A four-book series blending spy-thriller plotting with science fiction worldbuilding. Tom Clancy meets Firefly. Follows Samantha Mori, a rogue imperial operative investigating a conspiracy after a starship disappears.
