Side ProjectsYour Outie Has Both Zaz and Pep: Building YourOutie.is with AI
A tall man with curly, graying hair and a bushy mustache sits across from a woman with a very slight smile in a dimly lit room. There's pleasant, calming music playing. He's eager with anticipation to learn about his Outie. This is the premise of the show _Severance_ on Apple TV+, and it inspired me to create YourOutie.is—a wellness fact generator that took me from concept to launch in just four-and-a-half days.

It is a classic political murder thriller, a film set in the shadow of France’s show of force to thwart the Algerian anti-colonialist revolution and Charles DeGaulle’s retreat. The Day of the Jackal (1973) was about the anti-DeGaulle faction that so vehemently sought to retain French colonies that they conspired to have the President assassinated. The Jackal was a nibble-paid assassin who was always one step ahead of the police. The new ten-part TV series, The Day of the Jackal from Sky, based on Frederick Forsyth’s 1971 novel, stars award-winning actors Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch. The TV adaptation is a contemporary reimagining of the iconic film and is streaming on Peacock.
