The Main Thing I'm Building

MyCapsul

Your AI-Powered Life OS

An AI agent that actually knows your world — your schedule, your finances, your goals — paired with a personal dashboard that makes it all visible. You chat, it learns, it acts. The more you use it, the less you have to explain.

💬

You Chat

No forms, no menus. Just say what's going on — your agent picks it up naturally.

🧠

It Learns

Everything saves to a personal knowledge base — schedule, finances, health, goals. It remembers so you don't have to.

⚡

It Acts

Your dashboard updates in real time. Bills tracked, schedules built, focus set. It gets sharper every session.

🎯

Your Dashboard

A personal command center — budget ring, daily clock, project cubes, countdowns. All visible, all yours.

Free & open. Built for real life — tight budgets, ADHD brains, complex logistics.

Let's Chat!

I've been doing this since 2000 — VP of Digital Strategy at HY Connect, Digital Strategy Director at ICF Next, Client Principal at LaunchPad Lab, and now running product & marketing at a healthcare tech company. I've seen what works and what doesn't across agencies, startups, and enterprise. If you need someone who's been in the trenches, I'm your guy.
