Technology professional & builder — Capital Region, NY
I’m a technology professional and builder working across software, AI implementation, and open source, and I serve as Chief Technical Officer of Virus Free Air LLC, the company behind the CuTecAir filter. This page is the one place on the web where I say who I am, in my own words.
I’m a technology professional based in the Capital Region, New York area. My work is technology — software, systems, and, increasingly, applied AI — and my evenings tend to go to building things: small, practical software that solves a specific problem in front of me.
That habit produced an open-source app now used by Hyundai owners across the US, a one-job Windows utility for my own scanner, and a technical leadership role at Virus Free Air LLC, where we’re developing a new kind of HVAC air filter. Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time on applied AI — what it can realistically do for small, local businesses, tested hands-on rather than in theory.
I keep this page deliberately simple and factual. No hype, no inflated titles — just what I work on, where to find it, and how to reach me.
One venture I help lead, and the software and experiments I build myself.
CuTecAir is a 1″ drop-in residential HVAC filter built differently: a reusable galvanised frame holding copper-mesh screens, with a replaceable MERV 8 fabric insert that slides in behind them. The frame is bought once; only the fabric insert is replaced. It fits standard filter slots with no changes to the blower or ductwork.
My US fork of the OpenBlue Android app for Hyundai Bluelink owners — written for my own Ioniq 5 and now tested by a growing community of owners. It reads live vehicle status (battery, charging, climate) and is developed in the open, with tester feedback gathered on Reddit’s r/Ioniq5.
A small Windows app I built because my Canon PIXMA scanner made saving a clean PDF harder than it should be. CanonScanPDF scans from a flatbed or document feeder and saves one compact PDF — nothing more, on purpose.
A working concept for how a small business can answer routine calls and enquiries with AI — greeting callers, answering the common questions, and handing off to a human when it matters. Built and tested by me as an experiment in practical, unglamorous AI.
A pilot exploring AI-assisted inventory for independent liquor stores — the kind of shop where stock knowledge lives in the owner’s head. The experiment: can AI help track what’s on the shelf, flag what’s running low, and take busywork off a small team?
My sister site
My all-things-AI site: a daily AI brief in plain English, the tools I’ve actually tested, and the deals worth knowing about — the flood of AI news, filtered down to what’s useful, especially for small businesses and side projects.
This page is the canonical home for my projects. The best way to reach the people behind each one is through the project itself — each project site and repository below is maintained by me or by the team behind it.
A note on finding me elsewhere: this page is the official place to verify it’s really me. If a listing or profile claims my home address or phone number, it isn’t something I published — I’m actively having those removed.
Questions about a specific project are best directed to that project directly:
