built. failed. building again.

speaking to kano, delts, and life

2025-04-06

finding purpose

i've been thinking — the only things i've ever shipped that mattered were the ones i actually cared about.

not “this could blow up.” not “this might make me rich.” not “this feels like a startup.”

but things that hit close. things that felt personal. stuff i was willing to fight for.

kano didn't hit. it looked good on paper — ambitious, clever, well-packaged. but when i zoomed out, it didn't move me.

so i pivoted. started building delts — cleaner, leaner, and a lot more fun. it's solid. i'm proud of it. but if i'm being honest... it still feels like just another app.

what i want — is more.

i want to build something people feel. not just an app — but a shift. a lens. something that changes how people think.

and maybe that's AI.

not because it's hot. not because it's the trend. but because i've lived in it for years. prompting, hacking, layering tools, building my life around systems that think like me.

to me, AI isn't a tech wave — it's an operating system for how i see the world.

so i'll keep building. i'll keep exploring. and i'll stay in motion.

because even when the outcome's unclear — movement breeds meaning.
