Physician by day. Builder by night.
I’m David Moniz — a medical director and rural & remote medicine fellow who ships software after hours. I started this site for a simple reason: to document what it actually takes to build AI-powered online businesses alongside a demanding clinical career — the numbers, the systems, and the failures, without the hype.
My edge is the doctor’s approach: evidence over vibes, protocols over guesswork, honest measurement over victory laps. Everything here is build-in-public — you’ll see the wins and the teardowns in equal measure.
What I’ve built
- applystudio.app — AI resume optimizer (the flagship SaaS)
- yt-transcript-api — public API for YouTube transcripts with LLM analysis
- continuumscribe — long-form writing assistant
- code-art — developer code-art prints
- 13+ published books under two pen names (dark fantasy + manifestation workbooks)
- YouTube + streaming ambient audio — sleep soundscapes, history, ancient civilizations
- VaultOS — Notion templates for solopreneurs
The Solopreneur AI Stack
Every week I send one issue of my newsletter: the systems, tools, and honest scorecards of a physician building an online business portfolio. Teardowns included — the 63 GB tmpfs folder that killed my assistant three times is already a classic.

Why follow along
Most build-in-public accounts share only the wins. I share the whole ledger — what shipped, what broke, what it cost in time and trust, and the transferable lesson. If you’re a busy professional who wants to build online income without quitting your day job, this is the honest version.
Education and entertainment only — not medical advice.
