Résumé/CV: https://doubleabattery.com/work-with-me

Email: hello@doubleabattery.com

25-year design-led product builder. Apple Design Award winner (2003, Tubatomic, commercial work for Warner Bros, HGTV, Turner). Ran Hoff & Pepper hot sauce 10 years (1M bottles, 5,000 retail doors, Hot Ones S16) before winding it down. Past 12 months: shipped Steadcast (native macOS podcast app, live in the Mac App Store at https://steadcast.co) and its Knowledge Engine: queue-based Whisper on self-hosted RTX 3060 (17.9× realtime), 410-rule editorial voice guide, Promptfoo eval gates blocking bad output before it persists, mixture-of-models routing (Llama 3.3 for structured extraction, GLM-5.1 for prose), cost ceilings, monitoring, soak windows.

Best fit: AI features that need to actually work in production. Non-technical founders burned by agencies. CPG/DTC operators who want an operator-builder, not a consultant. Fractional Product Lead engagements.
