The Portfolio
Digital tools and things made by hand. Each one scratches a real itch.
Software for real life — apps and downloadable tools.
An AI intern for the small stuff.
It does the busywork: the notetaking, the threading, the follow-ups. You stay in charge. The AI doesn't overwrite what you find important — it pays attention so you don't have to.
Real expert guidance for the problem in front of you.
A two-sided marketplace connecting homeowners with licensed trade pros for paid remote consultations. Describe the problem, get real guidance, skip the guesswork and the service call.
A garden that remembers for you.
Log what you planted, when, and what actually grew. Next season starts from data instead of guesswork.
Fans influence the setlist. In real time.
A lightweight concert interaction platform where fans pay to request songs from a band-curated setlist during a live show. Requests surface on a live dashboard; payments split automatically between band and platform.
The sitter runs an experiment at the table.
A childcare marketplace where the person watching your kids is also running a STEM experiment with them. Babysitting that doubles as a lab.
For the list you made and never looked at again.
A shared task tracker for two people managing a household. Replaces To Do / Done with seven emotional states that reflect how tasks actually live in your head. No guilt, no overdue labels, no assignment blame.
Documentation you won't regret not having.
A structured tool for landlords and property managers to document unit condition at move-in and move-out. Built from deep personal experience with what goes wrong when nothing is written down.
Estimates that change their mind as fast as you do.
Model cost, effort, and timeline for any software build in real time. Toggle features in and out of scope, run parallel dev streams, see sprint-by-sprint Gantt output and QA bottleneck flags. Single HTML file — no login, no server, works locally.
Map what you have before you decide what to build.
A structured tool for documenting current-state product capabilities and planning migrations. Built for PMs who need to align stakeholders before a single line of code changes. Single HTML file, works locally.
Customize your resume for any job, in minutes.
AI-powered side-by-side analysis of your resume against a job description. Tailored output in minutes. Built and shipped, now retired.
Companies with bad morals — and where to go instead.
An iOS app that surfaced companies with questionable ethics and offered better alternatives. Built, shipped, retired.
Made by hand — furniture, built-ins, renovations.
Slate blue outside. Terracotta inside. Floor to ceiling.
Sketch → hand built
Full-wall built-ins wrapping the main living room window: floor-to-ceiling open shelving with a continuous wood bench below. Started as a Procreate sketch to figure out the proportions, then built from there. Exterior in slate blue-gray, interiors painted terracotta rust, window surround to match. The color story wasn't in the original drawing — it came during the build.
Same bones. Completely different sofa.
Found object → refinished and reupholstered by hand
A 1970s barrel-frame sofa pulled from a garage, stripped, stained dark walnut, and reupholstered in natural linen from scratch. Every cushion made by hand. The spindle back and curved base were always good — they just needed someone to see it.
A furniture piece that thinks it's an installation.
Sketch → hand built
A long waterfall console table built from scratch and tiled on every surface — top, legs, sides — in small matte square tiles with dark grout. The kind of thing you can't buy and wouldn't find in a store.
CNC-cut. Kid-scaled. Actually useful.
CAD → CNC cut
Designed in CAD and cut on the CNC from birch plywood. Two open shelves with rounded corner details and small feet. Built for a child's room — low enough to be independent, clean enough to belong anywhere.
A full room renovation. In one week. For Christmas.
Sketch → hand built
Before: blue carpet, overflowing shelves, no system, nowhere to actually work. After: sage green walls, floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving, L-shaped butcher block workbench, pegboard tool wall, new flooring. Designed, built, and finished as a Christmas gift. One week.
Custom dimensions, walnut veneer, tiled by hand.
Sketch → hand built
A floating bathroom vanity built to exact dimensions: open shelving section, two doors, three drawers, white quartz top with undermount sink. Paired with a large-format blue-gray hexagon tile floor, also installed by hand.
A dead corner, rethought.
Sketch → hand built
A built-in reading alcove with a birch plywood platform, pull-out storage drawers underneath, floating shelves above, and an upholstered mattress pad. The kind of nook that makes a room feel intentional.
A proper pantry, finally.
Sketch → hand built
Full pantry renovation with gray shaker cabinets, butcher block counters, undermount sink, and open upper shelving. The backsplash: glass subway tiles in teal, rust, and white, color-blocked in vertical stripes. The kind of room that makes the rest of the kitchen feel organized by proximity.
A garden with an opinion.
Sketch → hand built
Raised beds with painted panel fronts, an arched trellis tunnel, pavers, and a working vegetable and fruit garden on a rooftop. The painted bed panels are the design signature — color-blocked, graphic, not what anyone expects from a vegetable garden.
