I turn useful ideas into working things.

I’m Neil. I’ve spent a long time around public-defense technology, litigation support, discovery, trial work, infrastructure, and the improvised processes people use when the available software does not quite fit.

I bring the subject-matter experience, product direction, and a clear sense of what should exist. I use AI development tools heavily in implementation, then question, test, and refine the work until it does something genuinely useful.

My main project is RecordBench, a local-first discovery and case-review workspace for defense teams. I’m building it to help people understand scattered records and develop useful work product, with the source material close at hand.

This site is where I keep project notes and write about what works, what does not, and what becomes possible when domain experience can directly steer capable AI tools.
