Zetto
Voice-first Japanese acquisition engine — acoustic telemetry, spaced production, and sub-second AI conversation via Gemini 2.5 Flash.
I build AI systems that ship — not demos, not prototypes. Production systems handling real traffic, built by someone who understands both the code and the chaos of operations.
I wrote SPARC — 3,000+ lines of prompt architecture that turns 12 specialized AI agents into a coherent development team. Security mandates, TDD workflows, human-in-the-loop review. It reduces scaffolding from 2 days to 4-6 hours.
From managing fast-food ops at 3AM to architecting LLM pipelines — that combination taught me what most AI engineers miss: the gap between "works on my machine" and "works under load at 2AM on a Saturday."

Axion — Technical Venture Framework (Concept Stage)
// 2025
Axion is my applied R&D initiative exploring the intersection of AI-assisted development, venture incubation, and ethical innovation. Architecting and building proof-of-concept products such as Nexus and the SPARC framework. Developing human-in-the-loop AI workflows to enhance developer productivity and maintain design quality. Experimenting with small-team collaboration models that emphasize motivation, accountability, and autonomy. Currently in concept stage, Axion serves as a launchpad for future ventures and a real-world testbed for scalable AI-native systems.
