I make small, fast tools— and I ship them like a sport.

I ship something most weeks — apps, tools, bots, dashboards. A live sample, scrolling by:

Sports scores, with the scores hidden.

Follow your teams, see that a game is on and whether it was a blowout or a classic — and never get spoiled. That's the actual app, in the phone — try it.

Every tab is the real, running site in the phone — not a screenshot. There are 200+ more up in the wall.

Why so many

Every one started as a problem I had. I notice the friction everyone learned to live with, build the smallest thing that kills it, and actually ship it.

That's the whole trick. The rest is taste and not stopping.

I build for people, not résumés.

the part a portfolio
usually leaves out

Most of these started as a problem I had at 11pm — a game I wanted to watch unspoiled, a train I was tired of guessing at, something my parents couldn't figure out. The good ones grow into real apps other people use too. I work the whole way: design, build, ship, and sweat the details until it feels quiet and quick.

  • A no-login help page so my parents can fix the Apple TV themselves.
  • A site for my dad — a drummer, five decades behind the kit.
  • A guide to Roosevelt Island, the neighborhood I live in.
  • A care plan for Oreo, my twenty-year-old cat.

Off the clock: jazz at the Blue Note, the Comedy Cellar more nights than I'll admit, the Mets against my better judgment, and a home server humming in the corner doing far more than it should. read the full story →
