Operations leader → AI-native product builder

I understand the operation. Then I build the tool.

I spent a decade running real projects, customers, crews, vendors, materials and schedules. Now I use AI and modern development tools to turn those messy workflows—and ambitious product ideas—into working software.

Built from actual problems.

The common thread is not a technology stack. It is moving from ambiguity to something tangible: understand the workflow, identify the friction, design the system, prototype quickly, and get a working product in front of a user.

01 · Operations system

Inventory & Ordering

A working inventory and purchasing system designed around a construction operation—because “on the shelf” and “actually available for the next job” are not the same thing.

What it does: tracks on-hand value, job allocations, available stock, reorder exposure, purchase orders, and completed-job material consumption in one connected workflow.

Stockton

A company brain designed around a simple idea: the business should not have to answer the same question twice.

Grounded AI, not a generic chatbot: retrieve approved company knowledge, distinguish what the company actually knows from what it does not, surface knowledge gaps, and create a path for the system to learn the answer.

Build Mode

What if configuring an expensive physical product felt less like filling out a form—and more like experiencing what you were about to buy?

BUILD → INSPECT → EXPERIENCE. Configure a RAM 2500, see installed equipment, interact with physical components, activate lighting, then drive the finished configuration in a 3D environment.

D10

A personal operating system designed around a simple constraint: one mission, ten standards, every day.

From concept to working iPhone product: daily standards, a personalized morning brief, Apple Health and Calendar context, one primary Mission, editable settings, subscription infrastructure, and TestFlight distribution.

HyFit

A race-training planner that turns a few athlete inputs into a structured, date-aware training plan.

Personalization built into the product: race date, singles/doubles, division, training days, running ability, gym access and goal feed the schedule. Users can change inputs and rebuild while preserving completed workout history.

Court Planner

Software built from a domain I already knew: turn customer court choices into something visual, measurable and installable.

Design → visualize → calculate. Editable court regions, surface colors, dimensions, 2D/3D views, lighting placement, and automatic square-foot / tile / box calculations.

01Understand the operation

Start with what actually happens—not what a software diagram says should happen.

02Find the bottleneck

Identify where information, handoffs or decisions create friction.

03Prototype quickly

Use modern AI and development tools to make the idea tangible fast.

04Put it in front of users

Test the workflow, learn what is wrong, and iterate toward useful.

The other half of the story

Operator first.
Builder by necessity.

Before I was building software, I was responsible for the consequences when operations broke: customers waiting, crews missing information, materials not where they needed to be, permits holding up schedules, and dozens of active projects competing for attention.

That is why I care about software that removes friction instead of adding another system to babysit. I bring the perspective of someone who has managed the work and now has the tools to build around it.

AI implementation, not AI theater

Grounded answers. Explicit unknowns. Human judgment where it matters.

Stockton and Ask Adam use the same product principle: the model should be connected to evidence, constrained by what the system actually knows, and honest when the answer is missing. That is the kind of AI implementation work I want to do next.

Don't just read my portfolio. Interview it.

Ask Adam is grounded in my résumé, product work, and case studies. A hiring manager can ask what I have actually shipped, where my experience maps to a role, or paste a job description and get an evidence-backed fit analysis.

Ask Adam
Grounded to evidence
Why should I interview Adam for an AI implementation role?
Because his strongest evidence is the combination. He has spent 10+ years inside real operations, then built working software around those workflows. Inventory & Ordering proves operational systems thinking; Stockton proves grounded AI retrieval and knowledge-gap handling; D10 and HyFit prove he can ship user-facing products.
What is the biggest gap?
His résumé does not show a traditional enterprise SaaS implementation title. The portfolio is designed to make the transferable evidence visible instead of pretending that gap does not exist.
