I spend my days noticing what’s broken. Five years of IT support calls taught me where to look. Now I build the fix, ship it, and go looking for the next one.
Problem spotted
The smartest assistant is useless inside an app you forget to open.
The fix
Khio AI
An AI assistant you text. No app to open, because it already lives in your messages. I took it from launch to acquisition in under a year.

Condoms come in a box nobody wants to be seen with.
The fix

Where I learned to look.
When the same problem called twice, I documented it. Then I built albertabroadband.net, the home of Arrow’s fibre and fixed wireless plans, including many First Nations and Métis Settlements.
