I build tiny AI operating systems for real people, messy workflows, and projects that need to survive contact with reality.

Current focus

I am building the operating layer for a one-person AI lab.

The pattern across the work is simple: build small AI systems for real situations, field-test them with actual people, then convert the proof into sharper products, sharper UX, and sharper content.

Good Tech Week conversations

Agent-native workflows that do actual work, not just chat.
Consumer AI products built around real social and family use cases.
How to turn side projects into a repeatable content engine.
AI tools that manage projects, trips, events, and messy human coordination.

Chief of Staff OS

A persistent Codex thread that scans my project folders, git state, and thread history, then turns the chaos into a daily top-of-stack brief.

50 workspace folders, 31 git repos, 51 Codex threads indexed locally.

Creator OS

A content command center that turns shipped side projects into proof-backed scripts, shot lists, reskins, publishing plans, and metrics loops.

Built around real projects: Jiyajale, pregame.lol, ApartmentScout, Camp Neja, and more.

Anti-slop UX loop

A reskin workflow that generates ten sharply different visual directions before a product becomes a video or public launch.

Used across Jiyajale, Creator OS, upneja.ai, and design.upneja.ai.

Project index

A living map of shipped products, active experiments, research pipelines, and creative systems. The current work is sorted to the top; the archive stays filterable.
