Work with me
I run a game studio and an AI company, I'm the CTO of a construction and energy firm, and I make websites, games and a weekly newsletter. A clothing line is next. This is where all of it lives, and where founders can reach me.
Indianapolis, Indiana
Point at one to light it up
Lasting Light is my game studio. HEX is the competitive survival game we're making in Unreal Engine 5.8. Genesis is our AI game engine: describe a world and it builds it, right in the browser. HEX is its first customer.
HoosAI builds custom AI systems for companies that run on spreadsheets, inboxes and too many tabs. We plug into the CRM, the email and the books, and take the busywork off people's plates. I co-founded it with Rob Wynne, and our clients own the code we write.
Working with Huston Electric and Tesco Solutions
Drook.ai is my one-person web studio in Indianapolis. No templates, no page builders, and when it's done the client owns all of it. You're looking at one of mine.
Kris Bowen started Tesco in 2004. Today it rents cranes and hoists across the country, keeps big job sites supplied, and installs EV chargers for fleets, campuses and public lots, Purdue included. I'm the CTO.
Four of them live on drook.games. They're free, they run in the browser, one account works for all of them, and each one installs to your phone like an app.

Zelos is a second brain I built. It pulls your inbox, calendar, money, health records and plans into one place, runs on your own computer, and works with whichever AI you choose, even one running locally. It's free and open source.
This week's lead
At NYC's first sworn AI hearing, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta all say "no" to catastrophic-risk insurance.
I'm starting a clothing line. There's nothing to show yet. Leave your email and I'll let you know when the first drop is ready.
What each one is, what I do there, and where it stands.
