Hi, I’m James, a product builder in San Francisco.
Over the past decade, I’ve focused on new consumer experiences on iOS. At Meta, I shipped new features for Messenger and Facebook. After that, I shipped the first versions of the Reclip and Flavrs apps as the first engineer at each company.
I’m most at home early in a product’s life, when ideas are still taking shape and everyone is collaborating freely across design and engineering.
If you think there’s an opportunity for us to work together, email me or connect on LinkedIn. I’d love to hear from you.
Current focus
Lately, I’ve been exploring a new thesis: the next big opportunities will come from new hardware powered by new software.
Agentic coding is creating an oversupply of software, while existing platforms have been oversaturated for years. Much of that new software will spill over into entirely new kinds of computers, consumer electronics, and physical products.
So today, I’m focused on building software experiences for new kinds of devices.
Current projects

I’m building an open system that keeps your coding agents a glance away, from an Apple Watch to a watch you build yourself. I’m exploring what it takes to build software for new kinds of devices, while making something builders like me need today.

I built an iPhone app that lets you capture anything in the real world as a 3D model. I’m exploring how the latest multimodal and 3D generation models can power a new kind of consumer experience.
