AI became the operating system
Made AI part of daily product work - Claude, ChatGPT, and custom Gemini Gems embedded into specs, analysis, and stakeholder work. Then shipped the first working product with Lovable and Replit, and formed a clear thesis on which tools are for exploration and which are for production.

From pages to components
Built thewaypoint.ai on a component architecture with 21st.dev. The mental model shifted from designing screens to composing systems of reusable parts - the same shift that separates one-off builds from products.

Building the stack AI runs on
Shipped PortfolioIQ end-to-end — Supabase, Redis, live market data, deployed on Vercel — then went a layer deeper: an open-source MCP server connecting Claude to Calendar, Gmail, Tasks, and Reminders. TypeScript, Swift, OAuth2, security-first, MIT-licensed.

Systems that act, not just answer
First agentic pipeline in production: Gemini Flash classifies incoming support tickets and routing decisions execute in under 3 seconds, with human review reserved for low-confidence cases. AI moved from answering questions to doing the work.
