Capital, unlocked.
Not just financial capital — capacity, access, opportunity. The name started as a play on the keyboard key, but the site it's built for is the same question I keep coming back to professionally: what's keeping potential locked up, and what does it take to release it?
Where that question comes from
TODO — James: this paragraph should carry your real throughline — urban planning training, into housing finance / mortgage servicing, and the pattern you keep seeing across both: outcomes that trace back to systems, incentives, and the seams between departments that no one owns. A sentence or two on what drew you from planning into finance, and what's held constant across that move, would anchor this well.
What I can say with confidence from what you've shared: you work as a systems thinker and translator first — someone who models a messy situation (a policy, a workflow, a customer experience) to find where it actually breaks, and who increasingly doesn't stop at the recommendation. Generative AI has made it possible to prototype the fix directly — which is what the apps in the portfolio are: small, working answers to specific questions, not exercises.
How I work with people
Good systems work starts with listening — understanding what a partner actually needs before proposing what to build or change. Community planning, cross-functional management, and consulting all come down to the same discipline: hear the real constraint, not just the stated one, and build toward something the people who have to live with it actually want.
Two ways to look at this
Depending on what brought you here.

GenAI apps built end-to-end — from a mortgage-and-housing tool like Compás to a creative demo like Tlaxcala Trail. Working software, not slideware.
Experience
TODO — James: this is the spot for a CV summary or a "Download resume" button, for people evaluating you for a strategy, leadership, consulting, or AI-ops role. Send over the real roles/dates or a PDF and I'll wire it in.

Still genuinely open — consulting, AI operations, housing policy, urban planning, or some combination that doesn't have a clean job title yet. If you're working on a problem that sits between two of those categories, that's probably exactly the kind of problem worth talking about.
