AI & Productivity Tools Writer | Formerly built internal tools at a data-heavy startup | Skeptical of AI hype, genuinely interested in AI that saves time

I spent a few years building internal tagging and search tools before AI made a lot of that easier — which means I have a pretty grounded view of what AI-powered organization actually does well versus what's marketing dressed up as innovation.

My writing focuses on the unglamorous, practical end of AI tools: automatic tagging, smarter search, and the small frictions that make people abandon organization systems entirely. I care more about whether something actually reduces the work of finding your stuff again than whether it's the newest AI feature announced this month.

If you've ever set up a tagging system with great intentions and abandoned it three weeks later, I write for you specifically.
