Hi, I'm Dacia
(and I build things with AI)
I practice something called "vibe coding" — riffing with language models until something real emerges. It's like jazz, but with code.
The backstory →
I spent twenty years in financial services and mortgage tech as a product person. Not writing code — sitting in rooms asking "but what problem are we actually solving?" Building roadmaps, writing requirements, translating between business and engineering.
Raising a neurodivergent kid taught me something the corporate world never did: the most important problems don't have off-the-shelf solutions. Generic tools fail when people have specific needs. Sometimes you have to build the thing yourself.
Then AI happened. Suddenly I could prototype the tools I'd been imagining for years. Not by learning to code in the traditional sense, but by collaborating with language models until working software emerged.
Now I build intelligent tools that make people feel more capable. My AI collaborators help me move fast, while twenty years of product thinking keeps everything pointed toward something real.
Currently obsessed with:
Clarineffable
My second brain — a life management system built on the PARA method. It uses RAG-powered AI to actually understand my documents, projects, and priorities. I can ask it questions about my own life and get real answers. Task management, project tracking, and an AI assistant that knows my context. It runs my life now.
Signal
Executive function support for neurodivergent college students. Generic productivity apps don't work for brains that process information differently. Signal uses Claude Vision to extract assignments from syllabus photos, a token reward system for completing tasks, and three-tier escalating reminders. Built for someone I love, because no app on the market fit.
Rythm Home
Household management for the whole family. Multi-user task tracking with flexible recurrence, inventory management with automatic shopping lists, and travel date handling so tasks adjust when we're away. Five accounts for the family — everyone sees their tasks, I see everything. It knows our house has three floors and which room needs what.
DeckLab
MTG Commander deck analyzer with bracket ratings based on the official WotC guidelines. Upload a deck, get a power level rating, weakness analysis, and strategic insights powered by Claude. Currently in beta — if you play Commander and want to help test it, reach out.
Things I know how to do:
→ Python, TypeScript, JavaScript
→ Next.js, React, Flask, FastAPI
→ Claude API, Ollama, LangChain
→ PostgreSQL, ChromaDB, Prisma
→ Convincing AI to write what I want
→ Turning ideas into shipped products
