Thirty years on jobsites. Now a different kind of build.
I spent 30 years on jobsites — licensed carpenter, tools first, then years on the management and business side. Foundations, framing, finish work, then running the parts of the job nobody trains you for. The kind of work where if you measure wrong, the whole wall is wrong — and the kind of business where if you quote wrong, the whole job is.
These days I split time between the tools and a different kind of build. Python instead of pneumatic some days. Terminal instead of tape measure. I'm building the systems I wished existed when I was running my own crews.
The plan is simple: ship useful things, document everything, and put the AI office manager I'm building (Truck & Tablet) into the hands of the small shop owners who actually need it.
