Flagship Products

LIVE
Rho-Bot
An autonomous desktop agent that automates computer tasks by observing user behavior, learning goals, and executing actions through clicks and keystrokes. Decomposes user objectives into hierarchical plans and executes them locally — a cheaper alternative to LLM-based computer automation.
LIVE
CloudRun
An age-restricted delivery marketplace (Model A, Texas-first) connecting merchants, customers, and drivers for regulated products. Features intelligent dispatch orchestration (FAST + BATCH algorithms), real-time tracking, age/ID verification, H3 geospatial indexing, OSRM routing, and full compliance infrastructure. FastAPI backend with 50+ endpoints, Celery workers, and four React storefronts.
DEPLOYED
TravelPal
A monorepo containing three React apps (FlavorAtlas, QuestLog, PhantomNav) sharing a Firebase backend and ~24 shared modules. Each app skins the same core concept — discovering and collecting real-world places — with a different video game aesthetic (Palia, Genshin Impact, Persona 5). Think Pokedex meets Yelp meets gacha games.
OFFLINE
SparkSeekr
A companionship app where Seekers find their Muse.
