Articles on AI engineering, IoT and solo founding
First-hand accounts from building and running hardware and software companies. Each article covers something I built or a decision I made, the problems I ran into, and how I solved them, with the technical detail left in.
The Umbrella Method: One Claude Code Workspace for Every Repo
Why I stopped running one AI coding session per repository and put all my repos under a single workspace. What that fixed, the four things that went wrong along the way, and the rules that came out of each.
"Wait Another Year for AI Coding to Mature": A Response From Someone Who Didn't
A LinkedIn skeptic argues AI coding has no real ROI, customers reject AI-built products, and founders should wait another year for better tools. I'm a solo founder shipping a full hardware and software stack with AI every day. Here's what the critics get right, what they get badly wrong, and what waiting actually costs.
Biometric Workforce Attendance for Farms: Building ID Card OCR That Survives Real Fields
How I built a biometric workforce attendance system for Israeli and Palestinian farms. ID card OCR with Gemini, blur detection, GPS geofencing, device fingerprinting, and the early-morning production incident that forced me to rebuild the entire forensics pipeline. What actually works when you deploy biometric identity verification at dawn in a dusty field.
I Gave My AI Agent a Phone Number: Voice Calls Over 4G on a Raspberry Pi
How I connected a Claude-powered AI agent to a 4G cellular module on a Raspberry Pi, enabling real voice phone calls with speech-to-text, AI reasoning, and text-to-speech. The full technical build, from AT commands to production voice conversations.
Running a Company with AI: One Founder, Eight Repos, Zero Employees
How I run a full-stack IoT company solo using AI. Hardware, firmware, backend, web, mobile, CRM, AI agents, and marketing. No employees, no co-founder. Here's what actually works, what failed, and what nobody tells you about building a one-person startup with AI in 2026.
