I left my job as a PM a couple of years ago to start acquiring small e-commerce brands that sell on Amazon. I'm currently running those, and mid-acquisition on one.

Because they're relatively low-effort (Amazon is terrible for sellers in many ways but man do they provide an incredible amount of infrastructure), that leaves me plenty of time to play with AI, and it just so happens that the business serves as a giant, practical eval as new models come out.

I've been vibe coding apps for internal use and using Nano Banana for listing images and whitebox photos, and more recently I've started to lean on Claude Code heavily as an assistant. It's got API creds for my Amazon account, so I use it for everything from figuring out when I need to reorder to filling out spreadsheets for companies that safety test my product.

And of course I am writing a Substack that I must shamelessly self promote that goes into the practical use cases of AI in my business: https://theautomatedoperator.substack.com/
