About | Bennett Speir

I didn't plan to work where software, design, and AI overlap. I just kept following what felt interesting.

It started with spending too much time changing settings, exploring how computers worked, and trying small coding projects in high school just to see what I could make.

Over time, the question shifted from “how do I make this?” to “how should this feel to use?” That is when design started to matter just as much as the engineering.

AI became another layer of the same curiosity. I am most interested in tools that feel simple on the surface but have a lot of intention underneath.

Right now, that includes an OEM paint converter for digital designers, Waxnote, an editorial music concept built from six real playlist datasets, and early ideas for a better way to handle digital event tickets. I am still learning, testing, and following the ideas that feel worth building.

Away from the screen, I am usually running somewhere around Miami, swimming, spending time in the gym, planning another trip, looking for a new restaurant, or hanging out with Beau. There is more of that on Off the Clock.

I want to make things that feel considered, useful, and hard to imagine any other way.
