Twenty years across design, product management, and engineering, and AI finally let me use all three at once.
Twenty-plus years leading design. Owning roadmaps. Working close enough to engineering to write tickets, review PRs, and speak the language. Three perspectives rarely live in one person — and even then, shipping took a team. That part's changed. I can design it, spec it, and build it. The whole product loop, closed.
What used to require a handoff, a backlog ticket, and a sprint now happens in an afternoon. Idea velocity is a different game entirely.
I shipped two real working apps in the time it used to take to spec one. The barrier between idea and product has collapsed.
Prompting is product thinking. Writing clear intent, anticipating edge cases, defining "done": those are design skills that translate directly into better output.
When iteration is cheap, you try more things. Most don't work. The ones that do are sharper because you found them faster.
AI writes functional UI fast. Knowing when it looks wrong, and being able to name exactly why, is where 20 years of design experience pays off.
The feedback loop is now me, the code, and what I notice when I use the thing. That directness changes how you think about product quality.
11 Million Songs. Fastest Voice Wins.
I wanted a music game anyone could pick up without downloading a thing. On iPhone, two players go head to head on a single screen. On iPad, up to four people can play together, no separate devices needed. You build your own lineup by adding any artist from Apple Music, so every game feels personal to the room you're in.

Voice-Powered Last One Standing Trivia
The idea was simple: a trivia game you could play from one device using just your voice. No phones out, no apps to download. Apple TV turned out to be the perfect fit. Players take turns answering open-ended questions out loud, like "name a recurring Simpsons character", and wrong answers knock you out. Last one standing wins.

Every show I've ever attended, mapped and searchable
A personal archive of every concert I've attended, sortable by artist, venue, city, and year, plotted on a live map. Built for purely self-indulgent reasons and turned into a full data visualization app with stats, setlist history, and an interactive globe. The project that started this whole building habit.
