Projects & Clients

Products we've built, ventures we're running, and companies we've worked with.

Partners

Co-investors and co-builders. We partner on ventures from concept through launch across AI, voice technology, and enterprise infrastructure.

Active Ventures

Products and platforms we're building right now.

Autonomous intelligence for life. AI that manages the complexity of modern life across three domains: time, wealth, and health. Currently in alpha, public launch 2027.

Clarity in chaos. Acoustic intelligence platform that maintains 90-95% accuracy in noisy environments where traditional speech recognition drops to 14-40%. Born from years of voice AI research at SmartEar and VoiceBrain.

Real-time push platform built entirely from scratch — custom data format, transport layer, and server software. Load-tested with 3,000 EC2 instances simulating 30 million concurrent connections. Originally built at ZettaZing.

Know before it happens. AI-powered prediction platform using neural networks to spot patterns humans miss. We've been in the prediction space since Einstrong — now with modern ML. Beta Q2 2026.

Trivia at the speed of thought. Fast-paced 10-question packs with 5 choices where milliseconds matter — answer in 500ms for 95 points. Powered by the Echo push platform with anti-cheat architecture. Beta Q2 2026.

Products & Communities

Standalone products, tools, and community platforms.

Can machines tell the difference between background noise and a human voice? A deep dive into the acoustic intelligence problem we've been working on since SmartEar.

First-hand stories from the dot-com bubble. We ran Core Logic Software through the boom and bust in Redmond — these are the lessons nobody talks about.

Create instant polls and get real answers. Lightweight audience engagement tool — no accounts, no overhead, just quick feedback.

Community engagement platform for creators and their audiences. Turn casual followers into invested superfans through interactive experiences.

Prediction game where you stake your reputation, not your money. Social proof meets forecasting — an evolution of our prediction market work from the Einstrong era.

Originally built in 1998 as a CMS, CRM, and web publishing system that had features of today's social networks a decade before they existed. Now reimagined for AI-driven marketing.

Algorithmic art and generative design. Exploring the intersection of code and visual aesthetics through procedural generation.

Language archaeology. Tools for unearthing hidden words, tracing etymology, and exploring how language evolves.

Acoustic measurement and analysis tools. Named after the anechoic chamber — a space with zero echo. Built from our deep work in voice and audio technology.

Creative & Personal

Co-owned since 2014. We created a perfect-balance crushed pepper blend and took it to market. 100% pure, no fillers. A passion project born from a love of hot food.

In loving memory of Mariajuanita Guzman. The foundation preserves MJ's artistic legacy through exhibitions, donations, and a permanent online gallery of her work.

MJ's travel-inspired art collection. Original paintings and prints created during our years of traveling together through Latin America, Europe, and Asia.

Personal site. Four decades of building software, from mainframe computing in the late 1970s to AI and cloud infrastructure today. Navy veteran, 3x patent holder.

Our story. Eight years traveling the world with nothing but backpacks and a love of adventure.

Padel sport equipment and community. Precision-engineered paddles and gear for the fastest-growing racquet sport in the world.
