stuff I've been working on

Problem

Pokemon card collectors spend hundreds on grading fees with no way to know if it's worth it. The math is opaque: grade probability, market prices at each grade, fees, turnaround times. Most people guess, and most guesses lose money.

Solution

A mobile app that identifies any Pokemon card from a photo, then runs a data-driven valuation model under the hood. The result is a clear recommendation in seconds: grade it, sell it raw, or list it on eBay.

My Role

Product lead. Working with a designer to shape the experience from concept through MVP. Owning product strategy, technical architecture, and development.

Problem

People don't realize their news consumption is lopsided. Existing tools require manual effort and don't surface patterns passively.

Solution

A Chrome extension that silently tracks news sources you read, matches them against 2,700+ rated sources from Media Bias/Fact Check, and computes a Perspective Diversity Score. Visualizes your Left/Center/Right distribution, detects blind spots, and generates shareable retro-styled cards of your media diet.

My Role

Solo builder. Product concept, design, development, Chrome Web Store launch.

Impact

Problem

Astrology, Human Design, and Numerology each offer deep personal insight, but they exist in silos. No product synthesizes all three into a unified narrative, forcing people to piece together fragmented readings across multiple sites.

Solution

A full-stack synthesis engine that calculates natal charts (Swiss Ephemeris), Human Design bodygraphs, and Pythagorean numerology profiles, then feeds all three into an AI synthesis layer that generates 3,000+ word personalized readings delivered as branded PDFs. Includes a free Cosmic Blueprint tool combining all three systems.

My Role

Founder and product architect. Designed the verification pipeline, context architecture, and evaluation system. Product strategy, UX, SEO, and go-to-market.

Impact

Problem

The Pentagon revoked press credentials from every major news outlet during Operation Epic Fury. With traditional media locked out, the public lost access to verified, centralized reporting on an active military conflict.

Solution

A sourced reporting dashboard that aggregates casualty figures, economic impact data, and operational details from international outlets, government releases, and NGOs. Every single number links to its source. Contested figures are presented side by side with no editorial judgment. Includes a timeline, impact analysis across 10+ categories, and a media blackout visualization showing which outlets lost credentials and which kept them.

My Role

Solo builder. Research pipeline, editorial framework, information architecture, data binding system, accessibility, daily source monitoring and updates.

Impact

Problem

File conversion sites upload your documents to their servers, plaster ads everywhere, and harvest your data. For something as simple as compressing a PDF, you shouldn't need to trust a stranger with your files.

Solution

A suite of client-side file tools where every conversion happens in the browser. HEIC to JPG, WebP to JPG, PDF compression, PDF merging, and image compression with quality control. No files ever leave your machine.

My Role

Solo builder. Product concept, brand identity, development, Stripe integration, Sentry monitoring, launch.

Impact

Problem

AI coding tools start every session fresh. Without documented context, teams lose naming conventions, architecture decisions, and security requirements between sessions. The output is fast but undirected.

Solution

A CLI that scaffolds and enforces development process. Scans your codebase to generate CLAUDE.md, session logs, security checklists, and .env templates. Scores project health across audit, quality, security, and dependency categories. Integrates with CI pipelines and git hooks for continuous enforcement.

My Role

Product concept, CLI architecture, scoring algorithms, npm publishing. Built with AI-assisted development and dogfooded across 12 personal projects.

Impact

Problem

Every change-detection tool requires you to predict which pages will change and set up watchers ahead of time. Nobody does that.

Solution

A Chrome extension that flips the model. It silently snapshots every page you visit using Mozilla's Readability for smart content extraction, then shows you a clean word-level diff the moment you return. SHA-256 deduplication keeps storage minimal, and configurable significance thresholds filter out noise from A/B tests and dynamic feeds.

My Role

Solo builder. Product concept, architecture, development, Chrome Web Store launch.

Impact

Problem

Most mindfulness apps expect users to actively seek out content, making it easy to forget or skip entirely. Few combine unpredictable Taoist insights with quick, evidence-based practices for an immediate state shift.

Solution

Enlighten delivers Tao Te Ching passages paired with neuroscience-backed micro-practices at beautifully timed moments. Features include a quote library with filters, favorites, customizable notifications, and minimal, distraction-free UX.

My Role

Product concept, UX design, and technical planning. Wrote the user stories and roadmap.

Status

Available now on iOS App Store and Google Play.

Problem

Official statistics often lag reality and miss the psychological toll of modern challenges like healthcare nightmares, housing despair, and AI dependency.

Solution

A research dashboard tracking 8 metrics of modern absurdity through a 40/60 formula combining official data with social sentiment analysis across YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok.

My Role

Research design, data collection, UX/UI design, brutalist aesthetic, deployment. Built with AI.

Impact

Problem

T-Mobile's prepaid services for major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Best Buy required complex API integrations for activations, number porting, and service extensions. Without streamlined processes, onboarding new customers or adding lines was slow, error-prone, and frustrating.

Solution

As Technical Product Owner, I managed the MAAD Lite prepaid API integration for national retailers, delivered Port-In capabilities for seamless number transfers, launched National Retailer Add-a-Line (AAL) functionality for existing customers, and improved cart, payment, and OTP retry performance for faster transactions.

My Role

Technical Product Owner managing API integrations, stakeholder coordination, performance optimization, and cross-team delivery for enterprise retail partnerships.

Impact

Problem

ConnectWise Manage is the CRM and professional services automation platform for the managed services industry. Sales teams lacked real-time pipeline visibility, reporting took days, and legacy UI and APIs slowed adoption. The platform needed modernization across CRM dashboards, mobile workflows, and integrations.

Solution

Owned companies & contacts, quoting, sales funnel, and procurement modules. Built ConnectWise Now CRM Dashboards with real-time pipeline visibility, quote tracking, and sales forecasting. Redesigned ticket communication with rich text, inline images, and issue tagging. Led AngularJS to React migration and legacy API to REST conversion across the platform.

My Role

Product Owner for CRM modules: companies & contacts, quoting system, sales funnel, and procurement. Owned sales pipeline visibility, customer lifecycle features, and platform modernization across a PSA platform serving thousands of IT service providers.

Impact

Concept

A single-page web experience that renders a procedural pixel-art space scene at 320x180 pixels. Stars drift in parallax layers, nebula clouds glow in deep purple, and one quiet, steady pixel sits at the center: Earth.

The Experience

A boot sequence types out a transmission from the Voyager Deep Space Network. The starfield reveals, the nebula fades in, and an amber sign points to the dot: YOU ARE HERE. Press play to hear Sagan read the excerpt, or read it as RPG-style dialogue typed out one passage at a time.

My Role

Solo builder. Concept, creative direction, visual design, procedural generation, audio integration. Built with vanilla JavaScript and Canvas API, no framework.
