One desk, two cats, and a rule about what ships.

I build from problems I have lived with or seen up close. There are four apps because four problems have earned the work so far. The next one ships when I run into it. Not because shipping is easy now.

Before DZG STUDIO, I spent about a decade in data science and applied research, across academia and fintech: a university transportation lab, then data science at a bank, a brokerage, and a payments company. The habit that stuck wasn’t a build process; it was asking whether the evidence actually supports the claim. Scene’s deliberately smaller promise and Mint’s ask-before-acting design both come from that habit.

These days the studio is me plus a stack of AI coding agents. 72.6 GB of them on disk at last measurement, so no romance about the typing. The agents make code cheap. They don’t decide what deserves to exist, and they don’t answer your email; I do both. The products are serious; the studio still feels like a real life, and every long session has someone to lean on.
