Self-Taught Builder, Twenty Years Deep
I am a self-taught builder in Los Angeles. For twenty years I have been taking systems apart to understand how they work, and I build software end to end: I define the problem, design the system, build it, and keep it running.
I work with language models every day and have put nearly every major one to the test: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, Kimi, Gemma. I compare them by building, handing each the same real task from one of my projects and watching where it succeeds, where it breaks, and how differently they reason. I work primarily in Python. Watching a model handle work it was never explicitly built for is the part I find most interesting.
Before software I spent ten years in California cannabis operations, ending as COO, responsible for production, staffing, and regulatory compliance.
I am studying computer science now to formalize what I taught myself.
One person, start to finish. No team to wait on, no parts I outsource.
I obsess over the details most people skip, because that's where things break.
If it's not running, I'm not done.

Portfolio
Portfolio
Every piece below is mine: hand-drawn ink, no AI, no stock photos. I've got college coursework in drawing, design, and web design, but most of this I taught myself the same way I taught myself everything else. I designed and built this whole site, too.
[01]
Drawing
No plan when I sit down, just a pen and a blank page. Some of these become logos or site art later. Most just stay sketchbook pages, and that's fine.
[02]
Lettering
The WOLFE mark before it was a logo: just graphite and a straightedge on paper. Everything I brand starts by hand before it ever touches a screen.
[03]
Graphic Design
Same lettering, cleaned up and inked until it became the mark you're looking at right now, on this page. I don't hand off between drawing something and building it - it's one process, start to finish.
[04]
Illustration
I call this one Sadness. Ink and pen, built around a feeling instead of a likeness - a different exercise than the lettering work, same hand behind it.
[05]
Portraiture
Graphite first, laying in skin and hair, then ink linework on top once the values are right. Slowest piece here by a wide margin, and the one I'm proudest of technically.
Motion
Type in motion.
3D logo and title animation, designed and rendered by me.

I execute precise revisions to architectural drawings in AutoCAD to city-planning spec, work directly with the principal architect interpreting design markups, and keep design files under version control across concurrent projects.
I ran on-site technical support that kept business-critical operations at 100% uptime, and rebuilt customer-service SOPs into workflows that improved transaction efficiency across retail locations.
I built and deployed the full digital infrastructure and custom web platform for an Ultra 4 race team and Compton performance shop. Automated backend pipelines, a secure Dropbox-API media system that routes trackside photos live, and race-prep tools for events like King of the Hammers.
