Work Experience

    My professional journey across the music and digital industries.

    Independent Product & AI Developer

    Self-employed
    2026–Present · Malmö, remote

    Building AI-native products end to end, solo.

    • Built and run gotcosy.com, a live multilingual AI hotel-discovery product (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Supabase, Vercel) that scores hotels for cosiness on a calibrated 0 to 10 scale
    • Engineered a two-stage scoring pipeline: a vision model reads the photo, then a stronger model weighs image, text and 100+ human taste examples into a deterministic score, with strict grounding rules so it scores only from real evidence
    • Cut running cost sharply by moving high-volume image analysis from a paid cloud API to a free open-weight model (Qwen) on local hardware, reserving the paid model for final judgement only
    • Built Subfeel (subfeel.com), an instrument that reads nine specific feelings in reviews: nine detectors judged blind against human verdicts, a locally fine-tuned 14B model, and an MCP endpoint for AI clients
    • Launched Got Hush (gothush.com), 813 hotels with evidence-gated quiet scores deduced from guest reviews
    • Built DIE-OS, a domain-agnostic operating system for running AI agents on real work: 14 constrained roles, 14 gates, append-only conduct laws and a mechanical law checker. Public at github.com/perwinroth/die-os
    • Applied answer-engine optimization so AI assistants cite the products directly.
    • Built and published Marco, a friend check-in iOS app, on the App Store
