All builds →QuestTogether
A co-op adventure RPG built with my daughter. 13+ sprints using spec-first methodology — every mechanic started as a written intent document before any code was written.
Open project →Team Performance Index (TPI)
A software implementation of original academic research — a weighted model for measuring what actually separates high-performing teams from average ones. Draws on Edmondson's psychological safety research and Google's Project Aristotle.
MyTradeBot (Sentinel)
An algorithmic trading bot. 261 S&P 500 stocks, ML ensemble, 93 features. Built without a proper methodology. The cautionary tale — where the absence of a spec showed its full cost when the system drifted silently from original intent.
"Spec is the new code. As AI makes execution abundant, specification becomes the bottleneck."
