Archively↗

An institutional digital archive platform for universities, research libraries, museums, foundations, and corporate archives. AI proposes metadata and transcripts; staff accept, revise, or reject them field by field before publication, and every decision is attributed. I founded it and lead product direction, institutional evaluations, and go-to-market.

I like building businesses. At Archively I own the commercial side: product direction, institutional evaluations, positioning, and go-to-market. A product nobody buys is just a hobby with a logo.

I still write code when it matters. FerrumC, the Minecraft server engine I built from scratch in Rust, has 2.2k+ stars on GitHub, and I ship features myself when they move the business.
