Vercept AI

Remote (Part Time)

Vercept was acquired by Anthropic in February 2026. At Vercept, I designed and built Vy's desktop experience: the place where people set up AI tasks, follow their progress, and take control when needed.

  • Built a modular SwiftUI macOS app with multiple windows, resizable sidebars, and native interactions.
  • Created a session service with Combine and async/await so several conversations and tasks could run independently.
  • Used prototypes and community feedback to refine the main window, compact view, and task navigation.
  • Established MVVM, routing, and service layers to support the growing product.
