Just wrapped a six-month run at a digital marketing agency. Re-settling into Elizabeth. Reading more, scrolling less. Drinking too much coffee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I&apos;m building.&lt;/strong&gt; NeilOS, my personal AI command system. I built it while running the agency&apos;s operations. Now it&apos;s the workbench I run almost everything from. 20+ n8n workflows shipped this year. 8 MCP servers. A daily journal. A stack of skills. Slowly turning into the most interesting thing I&apos;ve ever built.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What I&apos;m thinking about.&lt;/strong&gt; The gap between &quot;agency that ships campaigns&quot; and &quot;operations layer that ships infrastructure.&quot; Most agencies sell the first; the second is where the durable value is. Also: what an operator&apos;s job looks like when AI does the rote work and the human owns the judgment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What&apos;s next.&lt;/strong&gt; Looking for my next full-time operator role. Somewhere big ideas need to become shipped systems. Open to project work in the meantime. If that sounds like a fit, I&apos;d love to hear about it: busqueneil@gmail.com.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category>now</category></item></channel></rss>
