After years of building websites and projects for clients, consulting on workflows, and creating internal tools for teams, I've finally done something I should have done a long time ago: built a space for myself.

But this isn't just about me.

This is FAR CNCPT—short for "Faith Against Reality," a name that captures how I approach building: starting with a vision that doesn't exist yet and making it real. It's about seeing what's possible before it's obvious, then engineering the path to get there. And more importantly, it's about building things that create value for communities first, with financial sustainability as the natural result of solving real problems.

I've always believed in the "do good work, get rewarded" philosophy. Not as naive optimism, but as a business model: solve meaningful problems exceptionally well, and the economics follow. Build tools that genuinely help people be more productive, more creative, more capable—and you create something worth paying for.

Who I Am

I'm an electrical engineer who fell in love with software, a designer who thinks in systems, a builder who's obsessed with the intersection of AI and developer tools, and an entrepreneur who's been running businesses since my early twenties.

I've operated a clothing brand (BYB Society) for over 5 years, run a digital agency serving clients across multiple industries, and built a printing and embroidery shop that evolved from sublimation to DTF printing. These aren't side hustles—they're vehicles for creating sustainable income streams that support not just myself, but my family, and eventually, enable others to do the same for their loved ones.

My background is a mix: circuit design and firmware, full-stack web development, process improvement at scale, and lately, deep work in agentic workflows and AI tool creation. I spend my days as a Process Improvement Leader at Schneider Electric, where I investigate inefficiencies and build solutions—both training materials and actual software—that save time and unlock value. But my nights and weekends? That's when I build the future I want to see: tools and businesses that solve real problems and create real opportunities.

I'm also a creative—photography, painting, tie dye, bass guitar. These aren't separate from the technical or entrepreneurial work. They inform everything. Design isn't just about making things look good; it's about making invisible systems tangible, creating patterns where there's chaos, and building experiences that feel right even before you understand why. Entrepreneurship isn't just about making money; it's about creating value that's so clear, so useful, that people willingly exchange resources for it.

The Philosophy

There's a principle I live by: "The bigger picture is only as clear as the pixels used to create it."

You can't have grand visions without attention to detail. You can't build solutions at scale without getting the fundamentals right. Every pixel matters because the whole image depends on it. This applies to everything—circuit design, user interfaces, business models, community impact.

When I approach a problem, I'm thinking both micro and macro simultaneously:

  • How does this individual interaction feel? (The pixel)
  • How does this scale to thousands of users? (The picture)
  • What problem am I actually solving? (Community need)
  • How does this become sustainable? (Business model)

My entrepreneurial approach is centered on community aid with financial reward as a product, not the goal. I don't build tools because I think they'll make money. I build tools because they solve problems I've experienced or witnessed others struggling with. The financial sustainability comes from solving those problems so well that people want to pay for them.

This is how I've operated my businesses:

  • BYB Society: Helping organizations and individuals express identity through quality apparel
  • Digital agency: Enabling businesses to have professional web presence they couldn't build themselves
  • Printing shop: Providing accessible, high-quality custom production to creators and small businesses

Do good work, get rewarded. Not as a slogan, but as a tested business model. Create genuine value, price it fairly, deliver exceptionally. The reward isn't the goal—it's the byproduct of excellence.

Why Now

I've been using Claude Code extensively in my workflow—it's fundamentally changed how I build. But as I used it, I kept seeing gaps. Places where agents needed more autonomy. Places where tools didn't exist yet. Places where the interaction patterns between humans and AI agents hadn't been designed yet.

So I started building. A lot.

And after months of creating tools for myself, iterating on ideas in private repos, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI-assisted development, I realized: these need to exist in the world, not just on my machine.

But there's another reason: These tools can enable others the way my businesses enabled me. If I can build infrastructure that makes other developers 10x more productive, that's not just a technical achievement—it's an economic multiplier. One person building tools that help a thousand people build better, faster, cheaper? That's how you create opportunities at scale.

This site is the home for that work.

What You'll Find Here

FAR CNCPT is three things:

1. Open Source Projects

The tools I'm building to make AI-native development better. These aren't just "cool demos"—they're production-ready systems solving real problems I encounter daily.

Featured Projects (launching today):

What if AI agents could create their own tools at runtime? Traditional MCP servers require developers to pre-define every capability, restart servers for changes, and manage tool bloat. vMCP flips this: agents describe what they need, create the tool, test it, iterate on it—all without developer intervention.

It's like VMs virtualize hardware; vMCP virtualizes MCP tools. Agents become both creators and consumers. This fundamentally changes the agent-tool relationship from consumption to co-creation.

The opportunity angle: If agents can create and iterate tools without constant developer intervention, a single developer can manage more complex workflows. Small teams can compete with large teams. Solo founders can build what used to require entire engineering departments. That's not just technical—it's economic leverage.

Ideas evolve. A recipe becomes a restaurant concept. A technical note becomes a product. But most idea management tools force structure too early or provide no structure at all.

Idea Incubator applies version control principles to thought development. Branch to explore alternatives without losing the original. Merge refinements from execution back into ideation. Track transformations as ideas evolve. It's git for your thinking process—modular complexity that grows organically, with validation agents that stress-test ideas before you commit resources.

The opportunity angle: How many good ideas die because they feel too chaotic to pursue? How many entrepreneurs waste months on ideas that could've been validated in weeks? This isn't just productivity software—it's a methodology for taming creative chaos. The software implementation accelerates it, but the framework works manually too. That means it's both a SaaS product and an educational offering. Dual revenue streams from one core insight.

2. Technical Writing

Each project that goes live will get a deep-dive blog post explaining:

  • The problem I was actually solving (not the one I thought I was solving)
  • The design decisions and why I made them
  • The technical architecture
  • What I learned building it
  • Where it's going next

I'm also working on research publications around agent coordination, token efficiency, and tool co-creation patterns. Some of this will be published here as it matures.

3. Consulting & Development

I still take on select client work—web apps, technical consulting, workflow optimization. But it's not just about delivering a project; it's about enabling teams to build sustainable solutions for themselves.

I want to work with:

  • Founders building their first technical products who need guidance on architecture that scales
  • Small businesses ready to integrate AI into their operations but don't know where to start
  • Development teams looking to 10x their productivity with agentic workflows
  • Entrepreneurs who have the vision but need the technical execution partner

My goal isn't to create dependency—it's to transfer capability. I want you to understand what I'm building for you, why it works, and how to maintain and extend it. That's how real value compounds: when the work I do today enables you to do more tomorrow without me.

If you're building with AI and need someone who understands both the technical implementation and the human factors—someone who's built multiple businesses and knows what "sustainable" actually means—let's talk.

What I'm Building Toward

My north star is this: AI agents should be collaborators, not just executors. And better tools should create better opportunities.

Right now, most AI tooling treats agents as glorified command runners. You tell them what to do, they do it, done. But the real power comes when agents can:

  • Identify their own capability gaps
  • Create tools to fill those gaps
  • Learn from execution and refine their approach
  • Coordinate with other agents
  • Make the invisible connections in systems visible

This requires new interaction patterns. New mental models. New infrastructure.

That's what I'm building on the technical side. But there's a bigger picture: These tools become economic multipliers.

Think about it: If I build infrastructure that makes 1,000 developers 40% more efficient, that's not just a productivity win—it's freed capacity. Capacity that can be redirected toward new projects, new businesses, new opportunities. Maybe some of those developers use their newfound efficiency to start their own ventures. Maybe some use it to spend more time with family. Maybe some use it to mentor the next generation.

Good tools compound. They don't just solve the immediate problem—they create space for new possibilities.

That's the entrepreneurial bet: Build tools that genuinely help people create value, and you create a sustainable business that helps people create sustainable businesses. It's recursive. It's scalable. It's the right kind of bigger picture.

And I'm obsessive about the pixels—the UX details, the performance optimizations, the error handling, the documentation—because those details determine whether the tool actually gets used or sits in someone's GitHub stars collecting dust.

What to Expect

Regularly:

  • New project launches with full documentation
  • Blog posts on design decisions, technical deep-dives, and lessons learned
  • Updates on ongoing research

Occasionally:

  • Video demos of tools in action
  • Case studies from client work (anonymized)
  • Reflections on where AI development is heading

Eventually:

  • Research publications on agent architecture
  • Open source contributions to the broader MCP ecosystem
  • Possibly a book or course on AI-native development methodologies

A Note on the Name

Faith Against Reality.

It sounds dramatic, but it's how I've always built—and it's how I've survived as an entrepreneur. Start with something that doesn't exist. Hold faith that it's possible even when reality says otherwise. Then engineer reality until it catches up.

When I started a clothing brand at 20 with no fashion background, reality said "you don't know what you're doing." Faith said "but I can learn, and I can build."

When I taught myself full-stack development while working full-time as an engineer, reality said "you don't have time." Faith said "I'll make time."

When I started exploring AI agent architectures that don't exist yet, reality said "no one's doing this." Faith said "exactly—that's why I should."

It's not blind optimism—it's informed stubbornness. I see the signal before others see the noise. I trace the path from "what if" to "here it is." I pay attention to every pixel so the bigger picture becomes undeniable.

That's what this site represents. Ideas becoming real. Tools that didn't exist, existing now. Patterns that weren't designed, designed now. Opportunities that weren't available, available now.

And then those tools creating more opportunities for others. That's the faith: good work creates value, value creates sustainability, sustainability creates freedom to do more good work. It's a loop worth engineering.

Let's Build

This is just the beginning. There's so much more coming—tools I've been iterating on for months, research that's nearly ready to publish, ideas that are still in the "exploring" phase but might be game-changers.

If you're interested in:

  • Agent tooling and workflows
  • Developer experience for AI-native environments
  • Systems thinking applied to creative problems
  • Building things that push boundaries
  • Creating sustainable businesses around real solutions
  • Enabling others to do the same

Stick around. I'll be documenting everything—the wins, the failures, the pivots, the breakthroughs.

And if you're building something similar, or if you're trying to figure out how to start, reach out. The best work happens in community, not isolation. I've been helped by so many people on my journey—from the Happy Valley Lunchbox startup program, to mentors at Penn State's entrepreneurship program, to the countless online communities that answered my questions at 2 AM.

Paying it forward isn't optional for me—it's the model. Help people build, they help others build, and we all rise together.

Your success doesn't diminish mine. It validates that the tools, the methods, the philosophy actually work. That's the metric that matters.


Up Next

My next posts will be deep-dives on vMCP and FAR Idea—the architecture, the design decisions, what worked, what didn't, and where they're going.

I'm also working on a post about token efficiency in agent workflows—how I achieved 40%+ reductions in code generation and what patterns are generalizable.

The vision will be visible soon. Actually, it already is.
