The Truman Show
Hi, I'm Truman. Yes, named after the movie. And yes, I know you're watching.
A little about myself
As a first generation American, I feel like it is an obligation to work hard and maximize the opportunities to make this little life grand.
My goal is to experience everything that interests me and share those experiences with good people, friendly or new, whether that is traveling to new places, picking up new hobbies, experiencing different cultures, or any other itch I have.
On the outside it looks like a series of side quests, but that is my main quest. Because on the off chance that life is a simulation, I'm striving for a 90%+ on my Rotten Tomatoes.
Some stuff to vibe over
The Buckeye life
I am an Ohio State alum. Go Bucks!
Euro summer
I spent a summer crossing Europe by train, staying in hostels, looking at buildings older than America itself.
Digital nomading
I spent a year working on the road, exploring America from New York to California.
Nature-maxxing
I'm on a mission to visit all 63 US national parks. 25 down but the best views are still ahead... hopefully.
Japan... nuff said
Yea I love Japan. Let's talk about it.
Martial arts
I enjoy watching and playing most sports, but I have an affinity for MMA. I used to train Muay Thai and wrestling. Let's tussle?
When I'm not side questing
When I'm not on the road or doing something silly, I like to sink my teeth into a project, whether it's something creative or something useful.
Some stuff I've done
Personal
Pokium, a digital display for Pokemon cards
pokium.app is a progressive web app for Pokémon card collectors: a digital binder where you arrange your cards into grid displays and preview any of them as a mock graded slab, in PSA, CGC, or TAG styling.
Personal
Meanderer, an experience logging and planning app
meanderer.app is a progressive web app for logging the experiences you want to visit and organizing them in one place, then planning trips around them. With the Meanderer MCP, users can leverage AI assistants to plan those trips and log them straight into the app.
Work
An agent team that plans marketing campaigns and executes deliverables
Our marketing team is two people, and the campaigns we needed to run required dozens of coordinated assets across email, ads, blog, and social. I built a two-agent system where a Strategist collaborates with me on the plan and a Manager delegates the actual writing to specialized agents, so humans are in the loop for strategizing, reviewing deliverables, and setting up the campaign.
Some thoughts I have
Still getting some thoughts on paper.
