Building the product.
Understanding the customer.

MindDrive is my private AI journal and notes app. Building it has given me a new perspective on something I’ve spent my career doing: helping people get value from software.

The product

A place to write.
A way to make sense of it.

MindDrive brings journal entries and notes into folders, makes them searchable, and lets people ask questions about what they’ve written. The goal is to help someone connect the details of their own life in a way that feels useful.

My work spans the product experience, subscription integration, third-party connections, testing, troubleshooting, and release preparation. I use AI development tools throughout the process, while owning the decisions and the work of checking what actually works.

Hands-on with RevenueCat

Product knowledge
with a real app behind it.

I use RevenueCat for MindDrive’s mobile subscriptions. My integration work also includes web checkout and the shared subscription state used by the desktop app. Working on a subscription product means thinking about how a purchase connects to someone’s access, how the app explains that experience, and what happens when something goes wrong.

It also means understanding the builder’s situation: what they are trying to launch, what they can take on themselves, and where they need clearer guidance or deeper technical help.

A useful conversation starts here

“What are you building, how do you want it to make money, and what’s getting in the way?”

MindDrive gives me something concrete to demonstrate. I can explain my own choices and show the product, then use that experience to ask better questions about someone else’s app.

What carries over

Sales judgment.
Technical curiosity.

Start with the goal.

My sales background taught me to understand a business before recommending a product. Building an app makes those questions more tangible.

Show the relevant part.

Demos and customer training have been part of my work since LMN. My own app adds a practical example I can adapt to the conversation.

Make the next step clear.

Whether someone needs a resource, a follow-up, or a technical specialist, the useful outcome is progress with their context intact.

Happy to walk you through it.
