about
operator first. builder by necessity.
most of this started as me getting annoyed at something and deciding the existing answer wasn't good enough.
i've spent about a decade in automotive retail and finance. that's the one business i'll actually claim to know pretty well. it taught me to care about margin, customers, incentives, ugly edge cases, and whether something still works on a tuesday when everybody is busy.
i didn't grow up coding. modern ai changed the cost of not knowing how. now a note on my phone can turn into a working app, a public experiment, or occasionally a repo that gets completely out of hand.
burnz is where i keep the evidence.
mississippi gulf coast. husband. dad. christian. dealership guy who somehow ended up building software.
what i do
start with real users, money and constraints.
turn recurring friction into something usable.
put uncertain ideas into contact with reality.
keep the wins, mistakes and dead ends in the record.
how i use ai
i use models and agents like junior operators: research, build, test, draft, chase threads, and occasionally drive confidently into a ditch. when the stakes are real, the final call stays mine.
have something interesting?
