I'm learning how to build a company from inside an AI startup.

• Working on growth at Bear Creek AI, on a product called KnowledgeXpert. Mostly figuring out how people actually find software and decide to try it.
• Building Brand Engine, a pipeline that turns about two years of my camera roll into posts. It ranks the photos so I don't have to pick between near identical shots of the same mountain.
• Training for HYROX Miami in March with McKenna. A mountain run in LA comes first.
• Getting married in 2027.

1. KnowledgeXpert

   The product I work on at Bear Creek AI. I built and run its site.

2. Brand Engine

   Two years of photos and video turned into a posting pipeline. exiftool reads the metadata, CLIP embeds and tags every frame, Claude scores each event's best shots, and I approve the order from my phone.

3. Cornerstone

   My life data warehouse. Sleep, body composition, lifts and my calendar all land in BigQuery, and a Cloudflare Worker reads them to render tomorrow's plan.

4. Life HQ

   I run my life like a company. Quarterly plans, a weekly review, a monthly close. The daily plan shows up as an event on a Google Calendar, which is the part that made it stick.

5. Sunshine

   A voice assistant for the kitchen, running on a Pi next to the stove. Built, honestly not in use.

6. Trail drone

   A drone that is supposed to follow me on trail runs and film it. Still mostly supposed to.

I let my HRV dictate my mood. Sue me.

Three runs and three lifts in a normal week. The hard days are gated on what my recovery data says that morning, so some mornings the plan changes before I'm awake enough to argue with it. I work out my zone 2 band with the Karvonen method and then spend the whole run telling McKenna to slow down so I can stay in it.
