Over the past year, I’ve been building something I never really thought I’d be capable of building on my own: a polished mobile app.

Creativity has always been a big part of my life. I’ve done photography for over a decade and spent a lot of time in college doing videography. I’ve always appreciated beautiful, intuitive products - the kind that just feel right when you use them.

At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, I started teaching myself how to code. At the time, it felt like learning a new language just for the sake of it. I never imagined I’d be able to turn that into something real - something other people would actually want to use.

Fast forward a few years, and thanks in large part to the acceleration AI has given to learning and building, I was able to dramatically level up my development skills. What once felt out of reach started to feel possible.

Around the same time, I got much more serious about running (early 2024). Training for races reinforced a few lessons that directly carried into building this app:
	1.	Show up consistently.
	2.	Progress is rarely linear - but if you follow #1, you will see progress.
	3.	Anything worthwhile takes time.

Those lessons were essential this year - especially while working full time and becoming a dad.

The idea for the app itself came from two places:

First, frustration. The world probably doesn’t need another workout app - the market is already crowded with really solid options. But after trying dozens of them over the years, I kept feeling like something was missing. They log workouts well, but they don’t really let you dig into your results. I wanted to clearly separate strength work from hypertrophy work, filter progress under specific conditions, and understand what was actually driving improvement.

Second, my day job. At Capital Group, I work in Results Analysis. My job is literally to dissect performance and understand what’s driving outcomes. It always felt strange that the tools I used for training didn’t allow the same level of analysis.

So I built something that does.

The app lets you:
	•	Separate strength vs hypertrophy progress
	•	Filter by rep ranges, weight ranges, and effort
	•	Customize how volume is counted (including drop sets and partial muscle contribution)
	•	Schedule workouts in advance
	•	Analyze training in a much more intentional way

It’s called Reps, and it’s built for people who care deeply about improving - not just logging.

I’ve officially submitted it to the App Store and am currently waiting for approval!

If you’re interested in trying it when it launches, you can join the waitlist here:

Regardless of where this goes, building it has been one of the most fulfilling creative challenges I’ve taken on.

Grateful for the journey so far.

My app went live on the App Store today! 😃

It’s funny how climactic the moment feels in your head after a year of building. You imagine pressing the “release” button and it being this big milestone… but then you press it and it’s just quiet. No confetti. No celebration. The app just appears - ready for anyone who wants it.

After nights and weekends of learning, coding, second-guessing, recoding, and slowly improving it, the quiet moment of publishing still felt incredibly rewarding.

A year of work condensed into one click.

Anyways… it’s live now!

It’s called Reps:

I think it’s pretty great… but I’m obviously biased.

Top Artificial Intelligence Voice | I help non-technical executives get clarity and confidence in leveraging AI

I’m an AI strategist and product builder who has led AI initiatives inside a top U.S. health system (Mayo Clinic). I speak and teach on practical AI adoption: how to de-risk initiatives, align stakeholders, and get measurable ROI from Artificial Intelligence, especially for organizations operating in regulated environments. 

My approach is simple:
→ Start with the problem, not the model.
→ Design for the workflow, not the demo.
→ Prove value in weeks, scale with guardrails, and keep humans in the loop.

💡If you’re ready to move from pilots to production and want a partner who blends strategy, product, and change management, let’s talk.
