A highly structured food and restaurant rating application. It enforces numerical ranking over standard star ratings, which significantly reduces positive rating bias and generates a clearer signal of quality.

"Beli operates as a superior recommendation database because it forces users to make relative head to head comparisons rather than rating items in a vacuum."

This is where I maintain my master dining log for New York City, and the data remains highly consistent across hundreds of evaluations.

A local-first, markdown-based knowledge management environment. It stores files locally as plain text, eliminating institutional lock-in and ensuring long-term data security and flexibility.

"Obsidian organizes knowledge through a bidirectional link network, allowing natural pathways to form between philosophy, marketing, and travel planning."

It serves as my central laboratory for drafting articles, organizing research, and tracking analytical methodologies.

An AI-first code editor built on top of VS Code. It integrates advanced LLM reasoning directly into the development environment, facilitating rapid prototyping, script writing, and system debugging.

"Cursor lowers cognitive overhead during script writing, letting me focus entirely on high-level system architecture and programmatic logic."

This editor was the primary tool used to write the automation and data collection scripts that power the research sections of this website.
