Taste is a technical skill.

A practice across three disciplines that don't usually share a business card — creative direction, AI training, and personal finance. The common thread: separating signal from noise, and being intentful with direction.

Direction will help you catch better fish. Coaching will help you catch your own.

Privacy Curtain

A Windows privacy overlay in C# and PowerShell for when an AI has remote control of your machine: it covers the session and blocks local keyboard and mouse input, without locking Windows and cutting the AI off. Awareness, not lockout.

Where this comes from

The job isn't to add more. It's to identify signal and get out of its way.

Small Tech LLC grew out of work that never fit one job title: program management on AI eval teams, clinical research on wearable health data, and years of finding the through-line in overly complex projects. Finding signal, helping people clarify what they actually want and how to get there — the skill shared among all three practices above.

Based in Fremont, CA, at the intersection of music and tech.

Whichever of the three this is about, the first step is the same: say what you're working on and what's not working about it.
