Builder. Designer. Maker. I've been a VP of Digital Strategy & UX, a Director at a global agency, a Client Principal at a custom dev shop, and now run product & marketing at a healthcare tech startup. I've shipped work for United Healthcare, Amtrak, Kawasaki, Roche, the Chicago Blackhawks, and a bunch of scrappy startups in between. Through all of it I stayed on the edge of what tech can do and still kept my goals and todos in a paper notebook, because every system was a pain to use day to day.
MyCapsul started as a personal dashboard I built to manage my own life — budget, schedule, custody calendar, goals, all of it. I was tired of scattered apps (and scraps of paper) that didn't talk to each other and didn't understand my context. So I built something that did.
When Anthropic released Claude Desktop, specifically Cowork — the ability to give an AI agent access to local files — it clicked. A local HTML file could be a dashboard for my life, run by an agent that knows me.
Why I built this
I have ADHD. I'm a single dad. I run a tight budget. A hundred things compete for my attention, and I don't have an assistant or a team to fall back on.
What I have is a system that works. MyCapsul is that system, packaged so anyone can use it. No streaks to guilt you, no assumption of unlimited time. A life dashboard that meets you where you are, and an agent that learns how your life runs.
Every feature exists because I needed it: the budget tracker, the custody-aware calendar, the journal, the project system.
What I believe
Realistic over aspirational
A plan you won't follow is worse than no plan.
Your data stays yours
No cloud. No account. Your life data is yours — it lives on your computer in plain text files you can read. (The page itself loads its fonts from Google/Adobe, and optional live tiles like News, Weather, and Stocks call third-party services with the URLs, location, or symbols you configure.)
Systems over willpower
Good design reduces friction. Automate the boring parts.
It adapts to you
No forced workflow. Your agent learns your life, your language, your priorities, and shapes itself around them.

MyCapsul is free. If it's helped, a coffee goes a long way.
