Catalyst PCs — MacOS Virtual PC Application

Catalyst PCs — MacOS Virtual PC Application

Founder | 2023–Present

Catalyst PCs

Context

A majority of Mac users require access to Windows software for work or education, but existing solutions are either costly, enterprise-only, internet-dependent, or require users to install and support Windows themselves—creating high friction and unmet support needs.

Role

As founder of Catalyst PCs, I bring deep, hands-on expertise across both macOS and Windows platforms and lead end-to-end product design, implementation, and delivery.

Constraints

  • Complex cross-platform integration spanning macOS security models, virtualization platforms, and Windows operating systems
  • High user expectations for a fully automated, consumer-grade installation and support experience

Actions

I designed and built a macOS-native application that automates installation of a virtual desktop platform and a preconfigured Windows 11 environment. The product abstracts platform complexity into a single guided experience, enabling users to run Windows on a Mac in minutes without requiring deep technical expertise or independent Windows support.

  • Accepted into the Startup Virginia go-to-market accelerator program (2025)
  • Delivered a working macOS application that automates deployment of a Windows virtual desktop environment

Signal

This project demonstrates my ability to conceive and build commercial software products that abstract complex cross-platform systems into simple, customer-ready solutions.
