Booking is handled by Cal.com and payments by Stripe. When you book, the details you enter are shared with them under their respective privacy policies.
I'm not loyal to any tool. I'm an expert at getting maximum value out of whatever the best one is right now — earlier than the people around me, and in production, not in theory.
That's a pattern, and it's an old one. In 2009 the leverage was in spaced-repetition software and OCR; I used them to teach myself Japanese and Chinese to professional fluency, years before language apps were mainstream. When the leverage moved to SQL and data pipelines, I cut a 60–80 person-hour compliance reporting cycle to under 5 hours. When it was browser automation, I saved $50k+ in vendor time with tooling that processed tens of thousands of cases. The throughline across 11+ years at Google and Roblox, and years before that as a self-taught linguist, is the same: find where the real leverage has moved, get fluent fast, and turn it into a reliable system before it's obvious.
Right now that frontier is agentic AI. My current work is getting the most out of Claude Code — wiring coding agents into real workflows so they do meaningful work reliably, not just demos.
